lyrics

Blind Joe plays guitar real good
Blind Joe's guitar is made of wood
From his baby's coffin

Blind Joe sold his soul for mans good
See Blind Joe's soul was made of gold
Like pure love

When the Devil saw that gold he thought …
He thought i'll have that soul and turn a profit

He said …
Hey Joe how would you feel if we could make a deal?
He said …
Hey Joe
I know just what you want
Just what you need
All you could wish for I could give you for free

But Joe said no
No no no no no

I have all I want
I have all I need
All I could wish for I have already

But the Devil said no
No no no no no I don't think so

I have your baby's soul
I have your baby's baby's soul
I have your baby's baby's baby's soul
But for your gold i could free those souls

So Blind Joe sold his soul
For mans good
That's why Blind Joe's guitar is made of wood
From his baby's coffin
