Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half

I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I’ll call myself MC. Blues Scale
And drop a dapper dan rap, like no man can.

I been playing the blues for eons
Lord its starting to get me down
Think I need something to lift me
Raise me up so I can stage dive the crowd
I dun played the blues since the thirties
Getting mighty tired of it now
Spent so much time howling and moaning
Not even sure that I can raise a frown

Lord I got the Blues Blues babe,
And I’m so full of sorrow
Well I woke up this morning
But I’m hoping I wont tomorrow.

I been playing the blues for so long
Think I’ll try some rock and roll
Them guys they seem so happy
Even when their womans gone
I been playing the blues for so long
Near enough all my days
And I dun had the miseries
In every town, in every state

Lord I got the blues blues babe
And I’m so full of sorrow
Well I woke up this morning
But I hope I dont tomorrow.

This is ace mate,I been trying to hook up to this type of sound for ages.I get a sort of soggy Debra sound instead of a nice crisp Dobro sound 80) New here so I may pester your back catalogue for a while.Cheers Jarvo.

Hey Alex...this track made me turn green with envy. Your voice is f***ing awesome. The trade-off of the gtr and the keys is perfect, well balanced. Laid back back-beat groove. Yeah, just checked the mirror, I am pure green. Cheers, Gary

I think this is my fave from your album. But then I'm a sucker for a good blues tune.

Saved!
