lyrics

Downhearted Rag

Headed out the door with my .44,
Headed down to the 'ol race track,
No time for so long, baby, I'm gone,
No tellin' when I'll be back,

There's just one thing for sure, babe, I got to go,
No sense lookin' for your nation sack,
'Cause it's a long hard road to the next post code,
Ridin' blind down a railroad track.

Don't blame it on the fever,
Don't blame it on the rain,
Don't blame it on the dog,
Don't blame it on the railroad train,
Don't blame it on you,
Don't blame it on me,
Just pin the blame on the fruit of the poisonous tree

Ain't gonna make no sense lookin' for me,
Ain't no sense cookin' for two,
The writin's on the wall, mule's kickin' in the stall,
The ink's runnin' on the I.O.U.

Maybe, I'll see ya come Fall, at the curtain call,
Wearing time like an old tattoo,
But, you best believe, there'll be no reason to grieve,
When it's all so downhearted and blue,

Don't blame it on the fever,
Don't blame it on the rain,
Don't blame it on the dog,
Don't blame it on the railroad train,
Don't blame it on you,
Don't blame it on me,
Just pin the blame on the fruit of the poisonous tree.

Willie Dixon said it best:
~ The Blues is the Roots, the Rest is the Fruits. ~

Everything I do has its Roots in the Blues. Willie taught me that.

Louis Armstrong had his own perspective:
~ All Music is Folk Music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song. ~

So, I make Folk Music. Louis taught me that.

At the end of the day, it's Music!

It's in the air.

I just try to pull it out. ... more
