listening to the blues

is better than having a doctor

look after you


the blues is tough medicine

you take the prescribed dose

and learn what's afflicting you and maybe heal some


and even if it's fatal it is a more soothing

way to the grave than a priest could show you


in fact doctors and priests give me the blues


that's why I'd rather listen to Roscoe Holcombe's

Graveyard Blues than to some Ava Maria sung by


some overdramatic neurotic


the blues do not give me the blues
