BLOOD ON THE FLOOR BLUES
--J. Wrabek
Woke up this morning, there was blood upon the floor:
Woke up this morning, there was blood upon the floor:
Body in the bathroom—guess I won’t see my baby any more.
Policeman in the kitchen, slapped me in handcuffs and he said;
Policeman in the kitchen, slapped me in handcuffs and he said;
“Son, we found the knife—shoulda cleaned up ‘fore you went to bed..”
Judge in the courtroom, saying what’s gonna become of me;
Judge in the courtroom, saying what’s gonna become of me;
“You’re gonna join your baby, soon as we got some e-lectricity.”
Preacher in the graveyard, trying to find a word or two to say;
Preacher in the graveyard, trying to find a word or two to say;
And he say, “Let this be a lesson, children, always clean up when you play.”
