The Sidmouth Folk Festival Blues

歌詞

Well, I woke up this morning, that's the way I start my day I popped some 'Hermecetis', had a fix of 'Special K' I packed my Larry Adler mouth harp, bio rhythms riding high I was goin' to Sidmouth folk fest, where old teachers go to die Well, I tried to get up forefront, but they wouldn't let me sing the blues And he sang: We don't want nobody wants to sing and play those twelve-bar blues We don't want nobody wants to sing and play those twelve-bar blues You can sing it in the back lounge of the Friends Of Wilde But, we don't want nobody wants to sing and play those twelve-bar blues I ain't a man to let those sleeping dogs grow under my feet A man raised on John Denver is a man who can't be beat I saw this guy with ribbons and bells, while there's dancers seven feet tall They hit me with six flaggers as they boxed me to the wall I'd nothing more to lose 'cause they wouldn't let me sing the blues And he sang: Pound stones, wherever you may be High in the water, but out at sea And I'll meet you all, wherever you may be And I'll meet you all at the Ducks And Bee I went to the shanty workshop, now sea-songs ain't my scene There were six-packs on the tables and the floor began to lean I heard 'Heel Ya Hos' and 'Haul Aways' and 'Doodle Let Me Goes' And Scotsmen harmonising, now that gets up my nose So I rattled on and on, but they didn't want to hear the blues And he sang: What shall we do with the drunken sailor What shall we do with the drunken sailor What shall we do with the drunken sailor Earlie in the morning Hooray and up she rises Hooray and up she rises Hooray and up she rises Earlie in the morning So come all you twelve-bar bluesers, if you want to sing your song Don't take your band to Sidmouth, 'cause you won't be staying long You'll hear 'Baby Doll' and 'Kootchie', sung by people just alive And duelling concertinas trying to murder Chieftains five Play anything you choose, but never try to sing the blues And he sang: I never felt more like singing the blue 'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose you love, babe You got me singing the blues Well, I never felt more like crying all night 'Cause everything's wrong and nothing is right without you You got me singing the blues You got me singing the blues I like them singing the blues
