Sing Me the Blues

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.
