I am just a garden gnome
I stand here the whole day through
I am just a garden gnome
I stand here the whole day through
Oh Lord it's such a pow'rfull sin
To treat me the way they do

They buy me from the market
Like I'm some kinda merchandise
Yeah they buy me from the store
Like I'm some kinda merchandise
Then they put me in with the bark mulch
Just so their garden will look nice

Lord what a disgrace it is
To live your life this way
Yeah Lord what a disgrace it is
To have to live you life this way
Well I got no rights and no respect
They treat me like a lump of clay

CHORUS:

I gots those Garden Gnome Blues
Oh baby baby got those Garden Gnome Blues
I'm in here with the sphagnum, I'm in here with the peat
Not a sadder little bitty man you will ever meet
They think I gots no feelings 'cause I'm made out of concrete
I've paid my dues, so spread the news
I gots those Garden Gnome Blues

Well I woke up this mornin'
Though it was rainin' real hard
I woke up this morning
Though it was was rainin' real hard
But it was only the family dog
Doin' his business out here in the yard

Oh it gets so hot in summer
I wish I was in the shade
It's gets so dang hot in summer
I wish I was in the shade
'Cause those UV rays keep hittin' me
And it's making my paint start to fade

And all the bugs make me their home
Lord it's just so doggone weird
All the bugs make me their home
And it's just so doggone weird!
'Cause there a rolly-polly on my hat
And a cricket on my beard

CHORUS

Well I'm living in slavery
Just workin' for that Pharoah
Yeah I'm living in slavery
Just workin' for that Pharoah
But the Garden Gnome Liberation Front
Lord, they say "Let my people go"

And just like brother Moses
When he parted the Red Sea
Just like brother Moses
When he parted the Red Sea
They're gonna part the koi pond
And then I'll be free!

Then I'll take my place with my friends
Helping gnomes all over France
Oh I'll take my place with my friends
Helping gnomes all over France
We'll rescue them from chain and bond
And give to them emance..........
Cipation

CHORUS

But until then I sit and wait
I know they'll come without fail
Lord until then I sit and wait
I know they'll come without fail
But now the sky is getting dar-ar-ark....
And my Lord....it's...beginning........to hail!!!
Ooooohhh yeahhh unhh!


Thought there needed to be at least ONE blues entry!
