BLUES HAS NO COLOR
The news is nothing new.
It’s easy to be blue.
But some people are not blue enough,
Some people are not true enough.
That’s how they said it on the news
White boys shouldn’t sing the Blues.
You shouldn’t sing like Muddy,
You shouldn’t play like BB.
Don’t blow your harp like Sunny Boy,
The Blues is not a clean cut toy.
The Blues has a soul that’s deep and stormy,
The Blues has a heart that weeps for the lonely,
The Blues is not for some people only.
It’s a pretty sound affair,
Music is vibrating air.
It’s not my fault I wasn’t born
With shackles round my neck.
I only know what touches my heart
And brings me back on track.
You may be black or blond or yellow
Or any color of the rainbow:
Sing you song and bang your drum,
No matter where you’re from!
The Blues has a soul that’s deep and stormy.
The Blues has a heart that weeps for the lonely.
The Blues is not for some people only.
It just gets under your skin,
Stays with you through thick and thin …
The Blues has a soul that’s deep and stormy
The Blues has a heart that weeps for the lonely
The Blues is not for some people only
It’s a pretty sound affair
Music is vibrating air
The Blues has a soul that’s deep and stormy,
The Blues has a heart that weeps for the lonely,
The Blues is not for some people only.
It is swinging oxygen,
Not a mortal sin.
The Blues has a soul that’s deep and stormy,
The Blues has a heart that weeps for the lonely,
The Blues is not for some people only.
Someone sat down and wrote a song for his band.
Why should it matter what color was his hand?
The news is nothing new.
It’s easy to be blue.
But some people are not blue enough,
Some people are not true enough.
That’s how they said it on the news
White boys shouldn’t sing the Blues.
You shouldn’t sing like Muddy,
You shouldn’t play like BB.
Don’t blow your harp like Sunny Boy,
The Blues is not a clean cut toy.
The Blues has a soul that’s deep and stormy,
The Blues has a heart that weeps for the lonely,
The Blues is not for some people only.
It’s a pretty sound affair,
Music is vibrating air.
It’s not my fault I wasn’t born
With shackles round my neck.
I only know what touches my heart
And brings me back on track.

The Blues has a soul that’s deep and stormy.
The Blues has a heart that weeps for the lonely.
The Blues is not for some people only.
