Blues My Companion

Saxon Crow



There's nothing more honest
Than moanin the blues
One man, one guitar
His life one big muse
Tapping that foot
And plucking a tune
'My baby gone and left me
She done me no good'
It's simple, it's easy
It's straight to the point
No flashy jazz standard
To distract and disjoint 
The blues my companion 
Over the years 
It's helped me through troubles
And plenty of tears 
You see the thing about blues 
Is it's the great healer 
And once I'm done singing
I always feel better 
Blues my companion 
My one true friend
You'll always be with me
Right til the end

And when im done dying and take my last breath

You'll be singing me to heaven

To meet me right there

        Blues is so miluch more than the music. Its a history that comes from the heart

          Yes I can see that - it just dovetails into a feeling of where I am at in the world. Take it easy, Sax

              Amen. Blues is the roots of all my playing.

              • Saxon Crow

                Blues is the root to about 97% of modern day music!

                Good write, S.C.
                You don't write the blues. It comes to you. Start with a blues shuffle and wait... it will come.

                • Saxon Crow

                  Very true Jerry.

                • Accidental Poet

                  Dance away those troubled blues
                  Say good-bye with your happy shoes

                  Well written Sax. ; )
