Fingers Bleed

When I’m feeling down
When my blues have come around
Throughout my life I’ve learned
There’s only once place that I can turn

I’m not talking about god
I find religion to be very odd
Instead of their wars to spill your blood
Just let if flow while you’re crying out
There’s only one thing
That can comfort me
She is beautiful and curvy don’t you see
I tell her everything
Oh she loves to sing
I’ve gonna play her strings til my fingers bleed

I’m not talking about wine
Though it does the trick from time to time
I’m not talking about good herb
Though it helped me to write these words

Neither money nor power
Can lift a heart in it’s darkest hour
There’s only one nostrum for me
It gives me voice, it sets me free

There’s only one thing
That can comfort me
She is beautiful and curvy don’t you see
I tell her everything
Oh she loves to sing
I’ve gonna play this thing til my fingers bleed

And ladies you know it’s true
Often times we turn to you
To lift us up when we feel down
But there’s times when you’re not around

That’s when she climbs into my arms
All my problems, they just dissolve
The weight it lifts right off of me
She gives me strength and sets me free

There’s only one thing
That can comfort me
She is beautiful and curvy don’t you see
I tell her everything
Oh she loves to sing
I’ve gonna play this thing til my fingers

There’s only one thing
That can comfort me
She is beautiful and curvy don’t you see
I tell her everything
Oh she loves to sing
I’ve gonna play this thing til my fingers bleed
My finger’s bleed, Til they bleed

about

The Snake Oil Salesmen regina, Saskatchewan

The Snake Oil Salesmen grew up in the First Nations and small towns of Southern Saskatchewan, each band member coming from long lines of storytellers and musicians.
The result is a passionate, delicious blend of rocking, grooving, and story-telling, that bites like a prairie rattler, goes down like a fine wine and tosses your inhibitions to the wind. The Snake Oil Salesmen, drink it in.
