Lyrics
I'm a Bluesman (Don't Be Confused)
Verse
I'm a bluesman, I bring trouble to your door
But don't be confused, I can be the light of the world
Just like trouble, I come and go
Don't be confused darlin', I'll leave my mark upon your soul
Chorus
Two feet of snow on the ground
And more's about to start
Don't be confused, darlin'
It's springtime in my heart.
The Trickster at the crossroads is just another joker in the deck
But don't be confused, it's your soul that you bet.
From the Delta levees to the Piedmont pines
Don't be confused, the blues is all I find
From your heart down to the pavement, from your soul down to the street
Don't be confused darlin', by the devils that you meet
Chorus
I'm a bluesman, I bring trouble to your door
But don't be confused, I can be the light of the world
