Omar's Blues #1
Omar's Blues
(David Olney/Bug Music-David Olney Songs)

Wake up darlin', the sky is turning light
Dawn's left hand has rolled away the night
Open up your eyes, it's such a pretty sight
It makes me feel everything's gonna be alright

Every rose that grows and blooms so red
Marks the spot where once true lovers met
They held each other tight and swore they never would forget
Now they're gone but the rose is blooming yet

Where the river bends let's get loose
And sing a verse or two of Omar's Blues

A soldier dies for honor that's his style
A prisoner dies and hopes for a brand new trial
A saint will die and do it with a smile
Let them go and let's just live awhile

Where the river bends let's get loose
And sing a verse or two of Omar's Blues
Sing a verse or two of Omar's Blues
