Genesis Blues lyrics

They say God 
Walked in the garden 
Between the Tigris 
And Euphrates 
They say God 
Walked in the garden 
Between the tigris 
And Euphrates 
But we all know that Eden 
Is down 
In the delta south of memphis 

Eve and Adam ate the apple 
Stood there naked in the sun 
Eve and Adam ate the apple 
Stood there naked in the sun 
But when God 
Came looking for them 
Oh, they knew 
What they had done 

Jesus is Lord of picayune 
And Mississippi welcomes you 
Jesus is Lord of picayune 
And Mississippi welcomes you 
Just remember 
When you're passing thru 
Everything started 
With the blues 
There's a place 
That they call witchdance 
Where not one 
Blade of grass will grow 
There's a place 
That they call witchdance 
Where not one 
Blade of grass will grow 
Something awful bad 
Went down there 
Or so the story goes 

You can read 
All about it 
On a sign 
By the side of the road 
You can read 
All about it 
On a sign 
By the side of the road 
But sometimes the way 
Things happened 
Ain't the way 
The story's told 

Jesus is Lord of picayune 
And mississippi welcomes you 
Jesus is Lord of picayune 
And Mississippi welcomes you 
Just remember 
When you're passing thru 
Everything started 
With the blues 
He broke his nehi bottle 
And laid it cross the strings 
He broke his nehi bottle 
And laid it cross the strings 
Then he took that sears 
And roebuck silvertone 
And really made 
That guitar sing 

That's all right mama 
Any way you do 
That's all right now mama 
Any ole way you do 
We all feel it too 
Cause everything started 
With the blues
