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

That phrase Hillbilly, High Country Blues has so much rhythm in it. I like the snowballing feel if more and more and more.

Fav line ‘ Put a dime in my cup, I’m still paying my dues ’. I was curious to the end to find out what could go wrong next!

Great images in this song ! Am I right in thinking that he/she murdered the lover that was about to leave them ?
