Vanilla White Blues
Vanilla White Blues
Whatever gives you the right,
sayin I can’t sing the Blues come Saturday night.
Vanilla White sho can play the Blues,
even though I ain’t walk’d a mile in yo shoes.
And jus cuz I don’t look the part,
that don’t mean I can’t sing from the heart.
Heartbreak don’t always cross traditional lines
you’re makin me pay some heavy fines.
Jus get your weak ass outa da way,
back off junior and jus let us play.
Step off your high and mighty throne,
jus listen to me once’t, you’ll love the tone.
Don’t act like you’d be throwin me a bone,
ya know I’m not sittin here holdin the phone.
Now thats all I’m gonna say,
cuz folks just wanna hear me n’ the boys play
*Written in support of a female Blues singer I know having trouble performing in tradfitional
venues.
