Bastard Son of a Thousand Blues Lyrics by Poison

Native Tongue

1993

[Verse 1]
Well, it's four o'clock in the morning and I'm knockin' on her door
She says, she's tired of me, don't want me here no more
She said, "Stop your pissin' and moanin' and groanin'
Go sleep outside with them dogs"
Now, honey, let me please explain, 'cause I didn't mean you no wrong
I didn't mean to hurt you, baby
Wouldn't do that to you
She said, "Bite your lip, now, sweet child
You the bastard son of a thousand blues"
[Verse 2]
Well, my daddy was gone by the day I was born
And my mama I have never seen
I was born in the back of a black Cadillac
And raised by a gypsy queen
And as a child I was hell gone wild
Raised in the eye of a storm
By the time I was ten, I was doing time again
'Cause I knew what that gun was for, yeah
[Chorus]
(Oh, no, no) I'm the bastard son of a thousand blues
(Oh, no, no) don't know what I'm going to do
(Oh, no, no) I'm the bastard son of a thousand blues
(Oh, no, no) tell me, mama, what am I gonna do?
[Verse 3]
Ladies have come and ladies have gone
But there's one I remember quite well
Years have gone past, but her memory lasts
But the story I cannot tell
Well, I've lived and I've lied and I've loved and I've tried
To put my soul to good use
Guess I'm shit out of luck 'cause that name, it just stuck
I'm the bastard son of a thousand blues, dig
[Chorus]
(Oh, no, no) I'm the bastard son of a thousand blues
(Oh, no, no) don't know what I'm going to do
(Oh, no, no) I'm the bastard son of a thousand blues
(Oh, no, no) tell me, what am I gonna do?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
(Oh, no, no) I'm the bastard son of a thousand blues
(Oh, no, no) oh, no, I don't know what I'm gonna do
(Oh, no, no) b-b-b-bastards, bastards, bastards son, baby
(Oh, no, no) I don't know what I'm going to do
(Oh, no, no) I'm a bastard, bastard, ba-ba-bee, boy
I'm a bastard, the bastard of a thousand blues
