Poems by Leslie Philibert : 74 / 99
The Blues
Hit the bass and thumb the devil`s back
Or shift the chords (but keep the standard bars)
Let your fingers dance up a dark-sided guitar
To play the blue notes along a rail track
Don`t mess me up with a jazzy type seven
Get your bottleneck sliding up all so tough
If you want to feel hurt then play that blues stuff
And thank the Lord for a bad-mooning heaven!
