Liner Notes

#Blues #collab #needsmusic #skirmish

Great Prompt! Took the initial line from the skirmish "What kind of Blues are These?" and like pulling a plug it all came out. Some times these immediately put me in the zone and it just happens - Crazy isn't it?!

EDIT: After rereading thinking the chorus might sing better as
High country, hillbilly blues... - I'm thinking that's the way to go.

Lyrics

V I
What kind of Blues are these
When I wake and the money’s gone
What kind of Blues are these
When my life long love's movin’ on

V II
What kind of Blues are these
When my truck won’t start and two tire’sr flat
What kind of Blues are these
When my goat won’t milk and ate my hat

C
Some say it’s silly, But I’m folk an’ broken
With the hillbilly, high country blues
Yeah the hillbilly high country blues

V III
Left my babe on the swing
done twisted her neck
Lord It’s them kind of blues
Strung up new wires
And I’m cutting the deck
Yeah, It’s them kind of blues

Stepped into the spotlight
and the bulb just burned out
damn, it's them kind of blues

Before I finished my song
The whole crowd'd walked out
Lord it's them kind of blues

Some say it’s silly, But I’m folk an’ broken
With the hillbilly, high country blues
Yeah the hillbilly high country blues

Bridge
I’ll sing you a song, Pick you a tune
Put a dime in my cup, I’m still paying my dues

C
Some say it’s silly,
But I’m folk an’ broken
With the hillbilly, high country blues
Yeah the hillbilly high country blues

Outro
It ain’t silly that I’m folk an’ broken
With the hillbilly, high country blues
Yeah the hillbilly high country blues
