There was heaven all a shakin'
Thunder of Creation
Gabriel blowin' his horn
There was angels and archangels, devils and demons
Screamin' like they never was born
That was the ni-i-ight God made the blues
That was the ni-i-ight God made the blues
We was dancing in Eden
Laughing and drinking
Wonderin' what was to come
Then out comes a viper,
The Devil's disciple whisperin' I was the One
That was the ni-i-ight God made the blues
That was the ni-i-ight God made the blues
Sweeter the juice of forbidden fruit
The better the higher the price
So I reached for a taste in that innocent place
And I fell out of Paradise
Now I live in a trailer
On a used car place
And I think about the road back south
And I drink too much whisky and I shoot my mouth
Now Eve stays out late
Goes dancing alone
It's none of my business now
'Cos we made our mistakes out of wedding cake
(and) watched it come crumblin' down
That was the ni-i-ight God made the blues
That was the ni-i-ight God made the blues
Sweeter the juice of forbidden fruit
The better the higher the price
So I reached for a taste in that innocent place
And I fell out of Paradise
Now I live in a trailer
On a used car place
And I think about the road back south
And I drink too much whisky and I shoot my mouth
That was the ni-i-ight God made the blues
That was the ni-i-ight God made the blues
That was the ni-i-i-i-i-ight God made the blues
