On the 7th Day

Lyrics

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
