Woke up this morning, 2 o´clock in the afternoon. Couldn´t find no sleep last night, but I´m trying to feel allright. My brain is ringin´with any ole chords, I sing Hallelujah and I praise the Lords!
It keeps on burnin burnin, it keeps on burnin burnin, it keeps on burnin my brain…
Red is the colour of my dancing shoes, Black Cotton and I feel the blues. White is my shirt, but it´s no use, I wear: Black Cotton when I sing the blues.
Went to bed that evening, 4 o´clock in the morning light. Tossin´and turnin´ deep in my dreams, was haunted by spirits till I gave up the fight.
They keep on burnin burnin, they keep on burnin burnin, they keep on burnin my skin – it´s a sin!
Red is the colour of my dancing shoes, Black Cotton and I feel the blues. White is my shirt, but it´s no use, I wear: Black Cotton when I sing the blues.
I was riding a horse with no name, played the wrong chips – in the wrong game. Only looking for some peace of mind, I keep on searching cause it´s so hard to find.
Red is the colour of my dancing shoes, Black Cotton and I feel the blues. White is my shirt, but it´s no use, I wear: Black Cotton when I sing the blues.
ooh, Black Cootton, ooh, Black Cootton, when I sang the Blues
