Liner Notes

Always fun to set @vaughan 's words to music! Couldn't resist this fun blues lyric (https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/songs/297156), which I interpreted with a simple melody and quick piano arrangement. #guywithpiano #blues #bluespiano #jazzpiano
Here's the lead sheet: https://bit.ly/46cqNQn

Lyrics

She took advantage of my lovin'
Yeah, she really played me for a fool
She took advantage of my lovin'
Yeah, she really played me for a fool
While I was bringing home the bacon
She was bringing home the blues

I'd try to call her every day
But my calls would not go through
I'd try to call her every day
But my calls would not go through
While I was bringing home the bacon
She was bringing home the blues

bridge:
One day I came home early
Much to her surprise
How could I expect she'd be in our bed
With some other guy

There sure ain't no worse way
For a good man to get bad news
While I was bringing home the bacon
She was busy bringing home the blues

There’s a bounce in this blues that gives the same old sad sad story an edge of goodbye and good riddance.
