Mama read the Good Book
Papa paid his dues
Preacher preached Word
Sister swore it true
Me I always wondered
What I was gonna do
You know in this life
You know you gotta choose
Either god or the blues
Either god or the blues
Mama did her housework
Papa shined his shoes
Preacher was the shepherd
Sister was his crew
Me I always wondered
What I was gonna do
You know in this life
You know you gotta choose
Either god or the blues
Either god or the blues
Mama praised the Church
Papa cursed the Jews
Preacher’s faith was stirred
Sister felt it too
Me I always wondered
What I was gonna do
You know in this life
You know you gotta choose
Either god or the blues
Either god or the blues
Mama gave a look
Papa drank his booze
Preacher said he'd heard
Sister spread the news
Me I always wondered
What I was gonna do
You know in this life
You know you gotta choose
Either god or the blues
Either god or the blues
