Graveyard Blues Lyrics

Been seein' a snake with an apple

A man in black holding a noose

A deck of cards with fifty two jokers

And I can't seem to cut them loose

You know you've been living with your foot in my grave

You know you know you've got one foot in my grave

There's no more forgivin' your deluge of cruelties

You cut my throat with your smile but you no longer fool me

You give me the sweet kiss of Judas

My tears are salting your food

Your lovin' is laced with a poison

And now I live and breathe these blues

You know you've been living with your foot in my grave

You know you know you've got one foot in my grave

There's no more forgivin' your deluge of cruelties

You cut my throat with your smile but you no longer fool me

You know you've been living with your foot in my grave

You know you know you've got one foot in my grave

There's no more forgivin' your deluge of cruelties

You cut my throat with your smile but you no longer fool me

Been tellin' a tale with no ending

Been walking a trail with no boots

Been using my blood to pay the reaper

And in the end it's still lose lose

You know you've been living with your foot in my grave

You know you know you've got one foot in my grave

There's no more forgivin' your deluge of cruelties

You cut my throat with your smile but you no longer fool me
