I CAN TAKE A HINT BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

the boss told me get back to work
I know you're giving me the shirk
you lazy bum you think I'm dumb
when I say jump you better come
you listen what I say
if you spect to be paid

I said I worked the whole night through
a doubleshift to get us to
where every dime we make today
will be your profit anyway
slave 80 hours on the line
without no overtime

but I can take a hint
yeah I can take a hint
but don't tell me what I did
when I know I dint
believe me
I can take a hint

I gave a girl a ride
she said come on inside
I said I'm a married man
she said I understand
but you'll be sorry if you won't
and I said honey don't

I got back home but I was late
my woman looked at me with hate
she said I heard you did the cheat
so walk on out on your two feet
she said baby so long
I said you got it wrong

but I can take a hint
yeah I can take a hint
but don't tell me what I did
when I know I dint
believe me
I can take a hint

I got up to the pearly gate
and there Saint Peter made me wait
the Boss himself he came on round
and pointed me the way on down
I said what the Hell?
He said you know me well

I said I won't stand here and plead
but you should know me by my deeds
I been a man who aimed for good
and tried to do all that I could
kept my heart free of hate
I don't deserve this fate

but I can take a hint
yeah I can take a hint
don't tell me what I did
when I know I dint
believe me
I can take a hint
