Fool's Blues
 

Some people tell me : God takes care of old folks and fools
But since I been born : he must a‑have changed his rules

I used to ask a question : then answer that question myself
About when I was born : wonder was there any more mercy left

Look like here of late : I've been crying both day and night
Everybody talks about me : and nobody don't treat me right

You know until six months ago : I hadn't prayed a prayer since God knows when
Now I'm asking God every day : to please forgive me for my sin

You know this must be the devil I'm serving : I know it can't be Jesus Christ
Because I asked him to save me : and look like he's trying to take my life

My health is gone now : and left me with the sickness blues
People it don't seem like to me : that God takes care of old folks and fools
