Cold and Crippled hand, Country Swamp Gospel Blues
Cold and crippled hand Mike de Velta © 2011
White collar black tie
these words are made to hypnotise
Speaking from the pulpit to the flock he’s now misled,
This is the way to heaven people”, and this is what he said
break
“Open your purse and empty your change
it’s time pay the rent’ um…x1 arabic
Well I’ve been chosen the Lord to lead you by the hand
forget him for now while you empty your change
from your cold and crippled hand
a fancy car, a limousine, a mansion on the hill
break
but you know every I dollar earn
goes to the needy, the poor and the ill. Uh huh um…x1 arabic
Well I’m not an unbeliever
my faith is strong and true
but I can’t understand how greedy man
steals money off me and you
“Your a sinner son It ain’t no lie
but ill make you understand
just empty your change and drop it right here
from your cold and crippled hand”
um…x1 arabic , solo x 2
Well I’ve seen you in the paper
I’ve seen you in the news
they say you squandered millions
and all the people you’ve abused
they found a woman in your bed
these drugs they found on you
“But can’t you see,
it ain’t up to me,
it’s what the devil made me do” um…x1 arabic
Well see his shoes they’re shiny
shiny like the sun
but take that robe away from him
He’s just a devil on the run.
But I’m a true believer, it’s a karma thing you see
no man escapes the judgement day
and a life of hypocrisy um…x1 arabic
Well I’m not an unbeliever
my faith is strong and true
but I can’t understand how a greedy man
steals money off me and you yeh
“Your a sinner son
It aint no lie
but ill make you understand
just empty your change and drop it right here
from your cold and crippled hand”

Belly Dancer – Episode 2 of the Forays into the Esoteric Podcast from Mike de Velta.
Featuring lap slide, 53 les paul gold top, fernandes stratocaster, oud, sitar, dobro, bass and drums played Dean Wuksta. When I composed this I tried to think of all the tones that excited me in my travels to India and North Africa. This tune is a hybrid if you like, a western interpretation.
