by David Beede, Florida dulcimer artist Ain’t Got the Blues Blues David Beede (Florida dulcimer artist) (adapted slightly by R. Pollay for CANCON and avoiding a dulcimer reference) I am the kind happy most of the time You know I very rarely get the blues. I never been a boozer or a three time loser Guess I never really paid my dues. I’m your everyday guy. I wear your everyday tie and bring home your everyday pay. And the only thing that’s wrong is when I go to write a song I ain’t got anythin’ to say. © I got them ain’t got the blues blues I got the “never paid my dues” blues Ain’t got no holes in my shoes blues . . . Today! My momma never beat me. My woman don’t mistreat me. I’ve never had to feel much pain. I’m just an old toker, a bit of a joker Ain’t got too much cause to complain. Tax Canada (The IRS) believes me. My dealer don’t deceive me. I never had to serve no time. I got a ceiling and a floor. The sun shines on my back door and I have never had to beg for a dime. © I got those ain’t got the blues blues I got them “never paid my dues” blues ain’t got no holes in my shoes blues ... Today I get past the color bar and don’t play no blues guitar. So a quarter tone is hard to find. How I can I generate impressions with my chord progressions There so square, not your hip and cool kind. I’m your everyday guy. I wear your everyday tie I bring home your everyday pay The only thing wrong is when I go to write a song I ain’t got anything to say.
