john wesley harding – miss fortune (live) lyrics

[intro]
a song off my last album, which is called awake. i’m a confessional singer+songwriter. actually, we were billed in the paper as the set ellis paul, sensitive singer+songwriter, and john wesley harding, insensitive singer+songwriter.

[verse 1]
i was born with a coathanger in my mouth
oh yeah, i was dumped down south
i was found by the richest man in the world
oh yeah, he bought me up as a girl
my sheets are satin but my mind’s a mess
but there are worse things i confess
than drinking tea in a pretty dress
[chorus]
and i’m hеre to tell you it’s not all bad
count your blessings and maybе you’ll be glad

[verse 2]
when he died, i inherited his wealth
oh yeah, i revealed myself
i was snubbed by all the friends that he’d never had
oh yeah, they sided with my dad
all my riches are beyond control
but it’s the same old rigmarole
they say i’ve lost my very soul
maybe i have

[chorus]
but i’m here to tell you it’s not all bad
count your blessings and maybe you’ll be glad

[bridge]
and as i grew so did my fame
so i gave it up and then changed my name
it’s catch as catch can and
you’ll never know who i am

[verse 3]
when i died, i hoped to hear the angel’s song
oh yeah, but was i wrong
they threw me right back there in that lane
oh yeah, they said, “wes, start again”
so when you’re turning off your bedside light
consider me in my wretched plight
looks like i’m gonna have to get it right this time
[chorus]
but i’m here to tell you it’s not all bad
count your blessings and you’ll be glad, you’ll be glad
count your blessings and maybe you’ll be glad

[outro]
thank you very much. thank you for uh, thanks for coming a lot, and thanks for listening.
