Well good morning, blues! Gather 'round the coffee pot. A little blues to wake up the voices, then I say we start a round of gospel and see if we can't out-sing 'em way up there!
Guitar, anyone? I don't play...
Poor Girl's Blues
(adapted from) Jolie Holland
Maybe I'm a poor girl
But it doesn't bother me at all (2x)
When this world comes crashing down
I know that I'll be standing tall
I used to be an angel
Now I'm just like everybody else (2x)
I left my wings in the gutter
And my halo's lost, dusty on shelf
I know a rambling man
Who's driving me crazy and wild(2x)
I'd have Austin as my footstool and the world as my throne
If only he were by my side
I got a couple of foodstamps
And a caffeine buzz(2x)
So I'd be set for right now,
if I only knew where he was
I'd tell him 'hold tight, honey,
don't you lose your spirit to the wind(2x)
I know you, and you'll be along time rambling
Before you see your rest again
Maybe I'm a poor girl
But I don't let it bother me none(2x)
When this world comes crashing down
I know that I'll be standing in the sun
