This doesn't quite belong in 'original writing' or 'music and lyrics', but if others think otherwise, let me know, and we'll move it.
I've always been a big blues fan, but let's face it...there hasn't really been a lot of good new stuff out there relating to our modern-day lives. I just thought it might be fun to post an original verse or two based on our real day-to-day woes. I'll start off:
Woe is me, woe is me,
Oh woe is me, woe is me,
three, four times a week
my wife makes me watch WWE.
Anyway, you get the idea...
Gee, I was gonna start one with:
"I woke up this mornin'..."
But I like yours better, cav!
Hi, Ho,
Hi, Ho,
Why is dat soul of mine
So dam, darn low!
This will sound much better with piano music in a dark, stinky, tavern. I'll sit ontop of the piano, with a whiskey in my hand, and sing my blues ballad for one and all.
What ta do?
I'm so low and blue!
Why?
Cause my Daddy left me
For you, know who!
Who, dat ya say?
Dat man done to you?
(Cont'd)
Come to baby come to me quick
I ain't had you for so long
it's making me sick
Love me tonight
Love me real tight
Hope for the best
"Cause I'm heading West!
I got no shirt
I got no shoes
But what I got, baby
is the no-service blues
Drank a bottle of whiskey
Drank a bottle of wine
Done stabbed my woman
Now I'm doing time
I've got those Hungover-Dead Woman-Doing Time Blues....
Same themes for country and western except that his dog run off too.
If you want truly authentic C&W, you gotta have a pick-em-up truck somewhere in the song...
Sittin in the truck
Waiting for ya, know what!
Come on in and
Let us spin!
Blues in the morn,
And blues at night
Tears on my pillow,
All's ain't right.
Oh, so blue!
My baby done left me,
Boo-Hoo, Hoo!
Blues in the morning and
Blues at night.
I'm with my Baby, and
He's all right.
What you done Louise? What you done Louise?
Baby, I'm askin' you please?
Why does my pizza got dem anchovies?
I got the my woman messed up the pizza order blues....
If I read any more I will burst into tears !
Tears?
For me?
OK, my little honey Bee.
Honey Bee?
Honey Bee?
What ya see?
Is it Me or
Is it He?
Well my dear
Honey, Honey Bee
What ya see better be me,
Cause if it aint',
Tiss sorry, ya'll be!
