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. |
