Talkin' Pretty Girl Blues Poem by Paul the Lion
Talkin' Pretty Girl Blues
In some lonesome dusty saloon
Sittin' on a broken bar stool
Drinkin' a lot of scotch
I feel like such a damn fool
Cursin' myself a storm
I throw the scotch glass against the wall
The bartender shoots a glance at me
Says that was your last call
Stumblin' out of the bar
I walk into the street
Lookin' for somethin' to grab
I can barely stand on my feet
Some dude on an ugly horse
Rides up an asks for a favor
Can you tell me where the lady-action is?
I say a-over yonder
He flips me the bird as he rides away
But I couldn't care less
'Cos since my pretty girl left me
My life's been a mess
I had me a purrrty girl
But I used to treat her so mean
And so she said later man
Then she split for Abilene
This is a big state to be
A lonely man, that's for sure
Though I could get me a woman anywhere
All I want is her
Walkin' into another saloon
I kick some little girl's cat
She looks at me and screams and cries
All I notice is that my beer belly's a-gettin' fat
I get me a bourbon and light a smoke
Look up and the lady dancer smiles at me
Then I look deep inside my angst-ridden self
And think, if I made her, how wrong would it be?
After dancin' she comes up to the bar
And asks if I'm a-lookin' for fun
We go upstairs and mingle
Then she cleans me out and runs
Causin' some more trouble
They throw me out on the road
This burden of guilt and missin'
Not sure if I can handle the load
I had me a purrrty girl
But I used to treat her so mean
And so she said later man
Then she split for Abilene
This is such an honest and sad lament of a lonesome Cowboy Paul, Don't worry you are young, very young and recognise your mistakes, so I assume you will learn from them, that is why we make them imo. When the time for new Pretty girl to take away your blues is right, she will appear. Believe me. I like the flow of this poem. You show a different style, which means you are capable of much. 10 from Rocking her own cowboy in her arms, soothingly, . Feeling his pain Loving his, Enigmatic charms. Tai
