CHORUS Half of my blood is Cain's blood Half of my blood is Abel's One eye looks to Heaven One eye looks for trouble Sweet mother, she sang in the Sunday choir On her head was a halo, she spoke brimstone and fire Daddy lived by the bottle, Daddy died by the barn Well, he froze one night, Mama said "Serves him Right" "The devil can keep him warm" CHORUS Guess I always saw myself as a simple man But there's a man in the mirror I don't understand Every day I fight it, but I know down deep It's the secrets I've been keeping Rising from their sleep CHORUS There's an angel and a devil playing tug of war with My soul (Half of my blood is Cain's blood) The battle rages on each and every day (Half of my blood is Abel's) It's all I can do just to try to maintain control (Half of my blood is Cain's Blood) My one and only hope(one and only hope) is to my knees and pray
