Lyrics
Must Do Blues
16 Bar Blues in C
tfg/BoM/PJN
90 bpm
Pharaoh dreamed of kine jumped up and rang his bell
Pharaoh dreamed of kine jumped up and rang his bell
Joseph he was summoned
Heard all his king could tell
Joe said to Pharaoh, You know I'll serve you well
Pharaoh said do what you must do
Do what you must do
The king removed his royal ring
Said do what you must do
Bathsheba dreamed that she was called before her king
Bathsheba dreamed that she was called before her king
She cried out to Uriah
That thought would burn and sting
Uriah told Bathsheba - Babe that won't change a thing
You do what you must do
Do what you must do
When Joab called that Hittite out
He sighed do what you must do
Last night I dreamt of silver dangling from a tree
Last night I dreamt of silver dangling from a tree
I could not call to Rabbi
I could not let them see
The Rabbi dipped the holy bread and handed it to me
He said do what you must do
Do what you must do
The Rabbi bore my crown of thorns
Said do what you must do
Rabbi bore my crown of thorns
Do what you must do
