It’s hard to write blues.
It’s hard to write blues.
If it were a game, I would lose.

It’s hard to write blues.
It’s hard to write blues.
If writing blues was getting up, I’d hit snooze.

It’s hard to write blues.
It’s hard to write blues.
If my poems had a smell, they’d smell like old shoes.

It’s hard to write blues.
It’s hard to write blues.
Wish I could take some cues from Langston Hughes.

It’s hard to write blues.
It’s hard to write blues.
If it were a game, I would lose.
