Black and Blues 2014

The brothers and the sisters

And all of the well wishers

The bastards and the legitimates too

The beater and the broken

And those with crimes unspoken

They’re all waiting for their next cue

The hero and the coward

And those that are devoured

The too many and the too few

The lowly and the highly

All of those who follow blindly

They’re all singing the black and blues

                You sing high or you sing low

                You set sail or say land ho

                You do what you do ‘cause you do it so well

               

                You try hard or not so much

                You say it’s  go, or say it’s touch

                You do what you do ‘cause you got a story to tell

The misters and the misses

And all the little kisses

The spinsters and the bachelors woo

The sinners and the saints

And the ones who say they ain’t

They’re all waiting in the next pew

The slow dogs and the cool cats

And all the hungry street rats

They’re all trying to get a view

The blessed and the meek

And those who seem so chic

They’re all singing the black and blues

                You sing high or you sing low

                You set sail or say land ho

                You do what you do ‘cause you do it so well

               

                You try hard or not so much

                You say it’s  go, or say it’s touch

                You do what you do ‘cause you got a story to tell
