Minstrel Man Songtext
von Willie Nelson

Oh, wondering minstrel man singing songs of strife
How many times have you been busted for showing signs of life
Oh, singing minstrel man sometimes you get the blues
When people try to stop you from singing your songs of truth

And you sing that you′re tired of seeing your brothers
Killing one another
And that silver in the hall
But that's no silver in the dove
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love


Oh, singing minstrel man trying to do your part
Telling everyone that they′re blind 'til they can see with their hearts
Oh, wondering minstrel man you get your clothes from the good will
And your soul will never be owned by a worthless dollar bill

And you sing that you're tired of seeing your brothers
Killing one another
And the silver in the hall, but that′s no silver in the dove

And nobody wants to hear your songs of love
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love

Nobody wants to hear your songs of love
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love.
