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!
