Subject: ADD: Five and Ten Cent Blues (Andy Cohen) From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Feb 17 - 07:04 PM I thank heaven every day for Charles and Bob and Lawrence and others, who helped me assemble a near-complete collection of Sing Out! Magazine. I finally organized it all a couple of weeks ago when I had the flu, and it has been helpful time and time again since then. Thanks, friends! FIVE & TEN CENT BLUES (Andy Cohen) Guitar picker, spellbinder Fancy dancer, sidewinder Fixin' dollar watches with ninety-nine cent tools Apple picker, agitator Truck driver, alligator Livin' daddy long legs with the five and ten cent blues Good mornin' silver sunup Took all night for you to come up Rollin' down to Dixie on a sweet roll and a song Hitch-hikin', half crazy Blind stupid, bum lazy Waitin' for a long while to bid St. Lou so long Rosy mornin', bare trees Old man ridin' on a cold breeze Overcast and underpaid and nothin' much to lose Telephone poles and empty fields Cold days and hot wheels Flyin' birds and flowin' words and the five and ten cent blues Pipefitter, bullshitter Baby sitter, early quitter Can't find her, don't mind her droppin' in for tea Post facto, exacto Back to back and black to go A quarter's worth of flowers and a nickel's worth of me Cold weather, don't mind it Goin' where the sun shines I'm rollin' down to Dixie in my oldest pair of shoes Broke down, don't panic Guitar picker turned mechanic Hand me down the pliers and the five and ten cent blues ©1975 by Andy Cohen From Sing Out! Magazine, Volume 24, Number 3 (1975), page 25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Xq6wlT1x4 |
