Song Sung Blue

Song Sung Blue

(A compound word verse)

Float with Strauss on the blue Danube

Blue rhapsody swings I'm a rube

Not blue blood

I was born the year of Woodstock 

But did not wear a hippie frock

Or bluejeans

I was raised in small country towns

But don't two step or love the sounds 

Of bluegrass 

I don't have a shoulder parrot

Can't dance a jig like a pirate

Like bluebeard

But when I tried harmonica...

Now I'm busking in Canada

A bluesman
