Don't go tempting the blues
No don't you keep on tempting the blues
One day when your life is smooth
It'll come back to bite you
You went out seeking pleasure
Now you loose
Hey!
Don't sell your sunshine for a knife
No don't you sell you sunshine for a knife
Fate will catch you out by surprise
When it cuts you between your eyes
No man can carve out sunshine with a knife
Hey!
Don't sow your seed in next door's field
No don't you sow your seed in next door's field
Because as your own crop depletes
You'll go hungry as your neighbour eats
Nothing but dust and bones in your own field
Hey!
