Jeremiah's Blues

They said he was the only one
He was a prophet and he was a whoopin' gone one
Hand in mouth, forgiveness here to overcome
Tried to raise the people
Oh, he had a fire and he had a reason
Guess the root of all the evilin' that was goin' on

Oh, Jeremiah kickin' at the dirt
(Jeremiah, ooh, Jeremiah)

Come and sit here by me, son
I'm here to tell you that you ain't got to worry none
As long as you believe they're gonna come along

Ooh, Jeremiah kickin' at the dirt
(Jeremiah, ooh, Jeremiah)
Ooh, someday they're gonna listen to every word
(Jeremiah, ooh, Jeremiah)

All that whistlin' in the wind
It's like your very own gospel hit you on the chin
Knockin' you around and comin' back again

Ooh, Jeremiah kickin' at the dirt
(Jeremiah, ooh, Jeremiah)
Ooh, someday they're gonna listen to every word
(Jeremiah, ooh, Jeremiah)
Ooh, Jeremiah kickin' at the dirt
(Jeremiah, Jeremiah)

(Jeremiah, Jeremiah)
(Jeremiah)
