Blindman Blues

I'm just a man and I'm blind and I wish I could see
Born with these cards in my hand understand I'm in need
They pass me by in the night when I'm out in these streets
They laugh at me thinking that I'm just a bum that's in need
But I had my moment in lights Had a wife had it all together right seen the Hollywood heights had a walking stick With a light
And some red leather flights. I lost it all had a fall yeah I fell to my knees
Now I'm just a blindman who's lost help me Lord please

I been through Hellnback
I got them blindman blues
If you see God than tell him that I got them blindman blues
I been through Hellnback
I got them blindman blues
If you see God than tell him that I got them blindman blues

I'm tired of stealing and begging for something to eat
And drowning my sorrows in whiskey I'm out in these streets
All of a sudden this voice said "come off the road "
He helped me to safety on his steps is where I slept by his door Lord my Save Soul
