Snap Blues

Here's what happens when you try to write a snapshot with Robert Johnson playing in the background ... Just glad it wasn't Johnnie Winter :-)


Snap Blues


Skin blotches don't sing the whole song,
skin blotches don't sing the whole song -
don't ask me 'bout nothin', I dunno what's wrong.


Anudder one married, anudder one gone;
Anudder one married, 'nudder one gone.
Mixing with bananas, apples don't last long.


I say, what happens in your head ...
Yes, what happens in your fat head
don't mean what happens in the bed.


Like line breaks, it's flow and strife -
where de line breaks is flow and strife,
just like livin' this contrapuntal life.


They say, you gotta hang on to let go,
you know, you gotta hang on to let go -
If you hang on too long, it's a no-show.



Blind Boy Andrew
(Damn, I broke a string ...)
