Karma Kid Blues

Woke up this morning

Gotta problem on my back (2x)

My baby said she’s pregnant

Oh lord, help us to make it through

Now I gotta raise my kid

And keep him away from the blues

I need some money

Some money to pay my bills (2x)

My kid will be born tomorrow

I ain’t got a cent to buy some milk

Think I’m gonna sell my guitar

A Gibson 1972

My kid came to me

Said "dad I wanna be just like you" (2x)

Said "I’m goin anywhere papa

Not until I know what you know too

Yeah I’m goin anywhere

Not until I know what you know too

Said son I know how you feel,

I used to be just like you (2x)

Listen closely to what I’m gonna say

You won’t be the same anymore

May have no women, no money, no car

But your soul will be always clean

(solo)

Well the dark days have come,

Should know, they always do (2x)

My woman always nagging me

She have cheated on my back

I don’t know how to deal with it

Gonna put her 6 feet under on my backyard

My kid came to town

He was asking for mama

A good father like I should be

Said “ I killed your mama, and that’s the truth”

..

I was dead to him and for myself

Shot my body 7 times

And I went down to the floor singing:

Nanana nanana nananana….
