You know that people really shouldn't encourage me! When I read a humorous little blurb over at The Pond about how to write the blues, I commented that I should try out the lesson by writing a bit of my own blues. The reply came, "Yeah, The Scorpions Ain't Coming To Town Blues!" Ever since seeing that reply, I've had bluesy words floating around in my head. What the Hell! I'll have a go at it!
This one is for you, Russ...
The Scorpions Ain't Coming To Town Blues
This lady is feeling so down and so blue. Yeah, this lady's feeling real down and real blue. She loves sweet Matthias but don't know what to do. 'Cos his band won't play in no Pittsburgh venue. All over Europe his band will go They'll play gigs in Russia, Greece and Mexico! But playing the east coast of this country here Must really be something the band members fear 'Cos they haven't played here in nearly three years. And so I've got the low-down Scorpions ain't coming to town Blues...
It may be short and not all that good, but it is definitely my version of the blues!
