Turnaround Blues

~ Sung to Standard 
     3-Chord Blues Riff ~


  Don't have no money
    Don't have no job
  Don't have no honey
    Just wanna sob

  Don't see no hope
    Ain't nothin' to do
  Strung out on dope
    Just singin' the blues

  But I got me two hands
    And a heart that don't quit
  Gonna find me some land
    Make it bloom, use my wits
 
  I'll make me a life
    Find me a good wife
  Pray to God every day
    to show me the way

  I'll make me a life
    Find me a good wife
  Pray to God every day
    to show me the way...

Children from 8 to 80, methinks... Thanks, Valsa.
