DON'T TELL THE GODS YOUR PLANS
(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.
