Now I'm gonna tell you, so you'll understand

How it all got started, how it all begin

God made the heavens, God made the earth

Made a man and a woman out of blood, sweat and dirt

And He looked around the neighborhood

And He said to His self, "This is good" God made the rivers and the mountains with his hands

God made the wind to blow the shifting sands

He put the fishes in the, in the deep blue sea

Filled up the garden with flowers and the trees

And God looked around the neighborhood

And He said to His self, "This is good" But the devil he was jealous, took the apple in his hand

The devil tempted woman and woman tempted man

God, He mourned and the tears rolled down His face

It broke His heart to see His children fall from grace

And on the 7th day they say, "God rested"

But you know that ain't the truth 'Cause on the 7th day, God made the blue

'Cause on the 7th day, God made the blue The blues is been around ever since that day

Everybody gets the blues, everybody got to pay

For the wicked things we do

And what we put each other through

And on the 7th day they say, "God rested"

But you know that ain't the truth 'Cause on the 7th day, God made the blue

'Cause on the 7th day, God made the blue

God made the blue
