the Luger blues .. .

..

daddy got the deep down blues .. .

..

..

I went down to the crossroads
    with my luger in my hand
went down to the crossroads
    my luger pistol in my hand
ain’t gonna study war no more
    nor gonna kill no one no more
nor fuss n’fight for my rights
    add no pain to the awesome stain
          (no more)

I went down to the river
    with my luger in my hand
my silver luger in my hand
    oh, my silver luger in my hand
I laid that weapon down, on the ground
    (and I said) I ain’t gonna study war no more
ain’t gonna kill and fight no-oo more
    nor shed no blood no-o-more

Oh, I went down to the crossroads
    with my sil-ver lu-ger in my hand
I laid that lu-ger on the ground
    (yes I did you you know)
I ain’ gonna study, gonna study,
    ain’t gonna study w-a-r no more!
I laid my luger, my luger pistol, my silver pistol
    on  the  ground

I went down to the ri-ver
    with my luger in my hand
I went down to the river
    with my silver luger in my hand
I laid it down, on the ground
    I ain’t gonna study war no more
I stepped into the wa-ter
    and washed that blood away
