Sing Me the Blues
by Wendy Parent
Sing it baby,
sing them Blues!
I hear ya, I feel ya
I’m pickin’ up
what yer puttin’ down.
Bounce and bop
super fly on the rebound
with notes of pure soul.
Blues from deep walkin’ struts
turn it up high
slip in the front door
rockin’ the house down low,
Momma’s kickin’ it up
Blues ringing on the phone
harmonica cryin’ in the drink,
gotcha right up along the Mississippi
crossing the wires to my hometown blues
caught up in the wail
hollerin’ for the funk,
rock me with the soulful cry
So baby,
sing me the Blues.
