DON'T TELL THE GODS YOUR PLANS

entry picture

(A blues in the slide guitar style of the incomparable Robert Johnson.  Played in open G on a guitar I bought at a car boot sale for £7 for parts.  It's much better value than my singing)

 

I took up with a woman; she was another man’s

I had it all before me – the world was in my hands

If you want to get them laughing just tell the Gods your plans.

 

She told me that she loved me and would until she died

She said when she was set free she’d stand right by my side

Don’t trust a cheating woman; I did and found she lied.

 

If she’s cheating on her husband you’ll find she will on you

Cos she’s cheating on her marriage and then her lover too

It comes as second nature what she has learned to do.

 

I took up with a woman; she was another man’s

I had it all before me – the world was in my hands

If you want to get them laughing just tell the Gods your plans.

Thanks, MC.. I’m told I sing like a bird. Unfortunately it’s a magpie.

I've heard worse. Now let me try to remember where....!
Seriously, JC, this is very enjoyable in a style that never
loses its appeal down the years. That £7 was well spent -
and I envy you the enjoyment of plucking and strumming your instrument!
More!!!

Thanks, Taylor. (Try to imagine it being sung by someone who could sing)
