SHE'S GOT THE RHYTHM (AND I GOT THE BLUES
By WILLY 9/28/98 11:30 AM. C-Harp, Key of G up Tempo 8-Bar Shuffle.
I found a girl to teach me bout rhythm.
Last time I heard she was back with him!
I'll tell y'all something the stone cold truth.
She's got the rhythm, and I got the Blues!
When she left it was like a fist to the gut.
I can still see the wiggle in her ample butt!
Since she gone I don't know what to do.
Cause she's got the rhythm, all I got's the Blues!
She said, as a choir member she learned to sing.
Put it in front of her, she could play most anything!
My heart she played like a bass drum, it still feels abused.
That little girl got the rhythm, and I got the Blues!
That little girl taught me about rhythm.
I didn't know I was her spring time fling!
She taught me the lessons, now I'm spreading the news.
That she's got the rhythm, and I got the Blues!
I'm sorry, I was daydreaming bout her hellacious strut.
My heart has a wound, not bleeding, cause it ain't a cut!
She said to sing in rhythm I'd have to pay my dues.
Guess I never will she's got the rhythm and I got the Blues!!!...
"The Blues are the roots, and the other music are the fruits." One of Willie Dixon's favorite sayings, from I Am The Blues by Willie Dixon with Don Snowden (DaCapo, 1989)
