Please tell me what makes me feel this way 
I've been down to the bottom and I don't want to stay 
Tell me what can I do 
To get back to You? 

I got the blues 
Those backslidin' blues 

I can see it, I've been on the wrong road 
And I'm too tired to carry such a heavy load 
Satan's marking me now 
I can't take it no more 

I got the blues 
Those backslidin' blues 

Have mercy, take me back once again 
I'll never be perfect and I sure haven't been 
I know that you will 
But you know that until 

I got the blues 
Those blackslidin' blues
