Red at Night

I was born in a town where the rivers flow free On a January night when the cold winds freeze I got an Irish name and an injury A blessing and a curse cast down on me Ain't nobody got the blues like me Ain't nobody got the blues like me It was a blood red sky on the morning tide There was a cold wind blowin' when I left that night And the warning bells rang, all right, all right Shoulda stayed home with you that night Ain't nobody played the fool like I Ain't nobody played the fool like I Things got bad and things got worse Half like a blessing, half like a curse Seems a blessing's so hard to see sometimes Got a little clearer 'bout dusk last night Ain't nobody got a blessing like mine Ain't nobody got a blessing like mine It's a red sky night and I'm doin' all right Red sky night and I'm doin' just fine
