IF THAT AIN'T THE BLUES
By WILLY SENKIWSKY 3/25/04 10:00 PM, C-Harp, Key of G, 16-Bar Shuffle from the 1V Inspired by, and my tribute to, David Allen Coe's "If That Ain't Country"
"All my life I broke the rules
Still do now I sing songs like this!
If that ain't the Blues,
Tell me what the hell it is?"
Chorus 1
"If that ain't the Blues then hot is cold
And a new born baby is already too damn old!
This diamond on my pinkie must be glass.
If that ain't the Blues I will kiss your ass!
Hey mama I need more brews
To some I'm a bum I prefer white trash!
Okay if that ain't the Blues,
Sweetheart I will kiss your ass!
When you're down with nothin' to lose,
And she left you waitin' in the rain!
Hell if that ain't the Blues,
Then Sadam must be my name!"
Chorus than Instrumental Break
"Okay baby pass me the booze.
The music I love ain't played on a banjo!
Well, if that ain't the Blues,
Then I really don't know!"
Chorus 2
"If that ain't the Blues then Muddy got no soul.
And a new born baby is already too damn old!
This diamond on my pinkie must be glass
If that ain't the Blues then I will kiss your ass!"
In a live show I'd be taking off my T-shirt
"You have seen most of my tattoos
Hold them burritos they give me gas!
Now if that ain't the Blues,
Then y'all can kiss my ass!!!..."
After this I turn and walk off, flaming fuckin' finger visible to all
