Three Uneven Stanzas In B Flat By Ron Porter

Blues are cutting me like a knife all the way down down to my soul somebody please play some rock? '?n?' ?roll maybe if i can get up and,? ?bop and stroll it might be balm for these blues cutting me like a knife like a mill-wheel grinding me Blues wear me down i am ground up like fine meal won't somebody throw down some jazz something smooth-melodic,? ?to help me heal cause i can not deal with blues,? ?like a mill-wheel turning turning to grind me down every note pierces my heart with pain change the music but refrain from the same.? ?play ska,? ?gospel or reggae rap or metal to chase my blues away except country of course with its repeat of loss,? ?despondency and defeat that pierce my heart,? ?pierce my heart,? ?as if a pike cause the stories told are so much like the Blues
