Lyrics
Chorus:
I’ve got those cruel, sinful
Temptation Blues
I’ll fight a duel
Almost anything I’m apt to do
I feel mean, Gee, I could scream
I never dreamed that I could change
First seemed strange, easy now
Since you drove me to those
Low down lonesome Temptation Blues
Don’t worry when folks tell you
‘Bout the things I do
Just stop and wonder why
No need to plead and sigh
Repent for all the tears I’ve shed
Then say you last goodbye
I’m raving with those cruel
Temptation Blues
