The Preacher of the Delta Blues - Home to the Bosom of the Lord

Paula finds herself a man to fill up that empty space. Just like Krissi find her bad men and whiskey. The Almighty knows you never take a drink to say your prayers, wishin' the blues supposed to take care of all that ails you. The women don't care what it is as long as they find themselves somethin' else so they don't have to think what their hearts wants to think about. I ain't sayin' that the medicine won't work for awhile, cause it does, but then it will rear its demon head and leave you alone one more time with the blues. (Looks toward the women) There they'll be, the medicine don't work. That's when they gonna have to like things no matter how they are, cause if they don't no matter what happens it won't feel like anything has happened...leave them chasing dreams around. That's right, all of them will be chasing their dreams around. If only these women could believe there's a key to the kingdom waiting for them. But they just know the almighty would start 'em off in Hell and then move them from bad to worse Don't know the key to the kingdom is in their hearts and every time they open their mouth to sing they can feel that kingdom. The whiskey, and men and gluttony will stop all that. Yes, those sins of the soul will stop all that. It's time to cry old tears, tears so old these women can't remember what they're for. the tears that are telling them to go back home to the bosom of the Lord. Go back to where they come from . Let us pray.
