Cold Day in Hell Songtext
von Otis Rush

I′ve been hurt before
I said it was gonna be the last time
It took me a long time to love this woman
I acted a fool and changed my mind
I gave her all of my heart
Oh Lord, it looks like I chose the wrong card
But for me, this world won't come to an end
It′ll be a cold day in hell before I give my heart again


I'm sittin' around wondering
Where do I go from here?
I′m in another woman′s arms
At night I shed another tear
I love her more and more
And I know that she's been with me before
For me, this world won′t come to an end
It'll be a cold day in hell before I give my heart again


I woke up this morning
I got my jug and I laid back down
I was searching for the future
But the blues is all I found
I came home last evening
I found this letter stuck in my front door
The message told me my love had left me
And that I′m never to see her no more
I woke up this morning
I got my jug and I laid back down
I was searching for the future
But the blues is all I found
I should've known better, baby
My heart′s been broke before
Between my jug and my heartaches
I'm as lonesome as a man can be
