My Delta Variation Blues

Updated: Oct 3, 2024

If I had a match


I’d set my hair on fire.


That’s how bored I am,


preachin’ to the choir.



If I had a B-B gun


I’d shoot a crow or two.


That’s how bored I am


waitin’ for the flu.



If I had a git-tar


tell you what I’d do


find me a boxcar


ride the rails ‘til 2022.



If you’ve got the Delta  blues


feel free to add a verse.


According to the local news


it’s gonna get some better


or it’s gonna get some worse.
