Sweet Delta Blues Lyrics

Georgia, your fingerprints are all over the crime
My sweet bleeding heart
My darling desperation I tried
Well save your replies
Your tongue is a brilliant liar
It was only betrayal
It was the cool in the air on a hot August night

It was a boy and his old man's heart
It was the seams finally tearin' apart
It was a cool cool breeze on his skin as they stood in the dark
Solitary in the street lights again
It was a rosemary gypsy skin
It was the sweet delta blues and it was truly truly a sin

Georgia when I told you goodbye
How it haunts me some nights
Oh Georgia don't you cry
We were only young liars
And I just could not bleed any more
We were only young liars
And I just would not bleed any more

It was a boy and his old man's heart
It was the seams finally tearin' apart
It was a cool cool breeze on his skin as they stood in the dark
Solitary in the street lights again It was a rosemary gypsy skin
It was the sweet delta blues and it was truly truly a sin
Let's let the investigation start
(Where the memory hangs heavy on the mist on the field)
Let all the interrogation tear us apart
(Singing sweet baby boy you leave me lonely sometimes)
Let's hear all your greatest alibis
(The girls say they've seen a shadow with the blood in their eyes)
Well you were somewhere else that night
(Singing sweet baby boy you leave me lonely sometimes)

All about a white hot Memphis night
Where the memory hangs heavy on the mist on the field
All about a white hot Memphis night
Singing sweet baby boy you leave me lonely sometimes
All about a white hot Memphis night
The girls say they've seen a shadow with the blood in their eyes
All about a white hot Memphis night
Singing sweet baby boy you leave me lonely sometimes
