One of the more recently penned tracks and my take on the classic 'slow blues' minor 6:8 thing, it's got some unusual timings in the chord patterns which I hope helps it stand out. Some might view the lyrical theme as flogging a dead horse but it's sincerely presented .."Honest Gov"

lyrics

Well I woke up this morning Yes it’s morning time again
So I ask myself a question
that's been stuck here in my brain
Can a white boy sing the blues ?
Can a white boy play the blues ?
Well if you gonna leave me mama
I cant see how it ain’t true

So I went down to the diner to get myself a bite
But the question went unanswered like a mystery in the night
Can a white boy play the blues?
Yeah Can a white boy play the blues?
Well if you gonna leave me mama
I can’t see how it ain’t true

So I spent the day alone till no hours did remain
It sure got kinda lonely but the question’s still the same
Can a white boy play the blues ?
Yeah Can a white boy sing the blues ?
Well if you gonna leave me mama
I can’t see how it ain’t true

Well I'm seeking satisfaction from these quandaries of my mind
It’s my pursuit for knowledge the only comfort I can find
Since you left me baby I’m so lonely it's not true
But as least I found my answer
Here’s one white boy’s playin’ the blues
