lyrics

From bayou porches to Memphis streets
Ring Southern soul and melodies so blue
Boot soles on pavement, clumsy syncopate
To sounds of weathered wood and rusted strings

They tune the pitch of calloused fingers to
The frequencies of cotton hymns, so hear
The gravel in their lungs as not from wear
But the stories of the theft of brothers' breath

I've got the blues, blue eyes and eager ears
Through which lamenting sounds may ring so sweet
My voice no product of history and so
My calloused fingers tuned to a different key
With soul and rhythm souls, with wood and string
Yet lacking still, whose blues am I to sing?
