DigiTrad:
A COUNTRY SONG
BLOODY ROTTEN AUDIENCE
BOGLED
DO YOU KNOW ANY BOB DYLAN?

IF WISHES WERE FISHES
LEAVING NANCY
NO MAN'S LAND

OK, here are the lyrics, somebody else will have to help with the chords. Since I'm six foot four and sing in a bass-baritone voice, I never got too interested in performing it. But I did meet Eric once when I opened for him in Anchorage and we shared a laugh regarding this song.

SHORT WHITE BLUES by Eric Bogle

I was born back in the forties, a bouncin' baby boy,
My mama's future heartbreak, and my daddy's short-lived joy,
Born with all my bits and pieces, I seemed to be alright,
Only one thing wrong, I was too short and too white.

        Oh, I got them short white blues,
        Yes I got them short white blues,
        I'm never ever ever ever ever gonna lose,
        Them too short, too white blues.

Cause ever since I can remember, I yearned to sing the blues,
In a voice that rose like thunder from the soles of my shoes,
But in his wisdom God thought that he knew better,
Gave the voice I was supposed to have to Huddy Ledbetter.

        Oh, I got them short white blues,
        Yes I got them short white blues,
        I'm never ever ever ever ever gonna lose,
        Them too short, too white blues.

Now I've got a talent for song fabricatin',
And a singing voice that sounds like canaries copulatin',
I'm a walkin' illustration of one of life's cruel tricks,
Instead of being tall and black, I'm white and five foot six.

        Oh, I got them too short blues,
        Yes I got them short white blues,
        Got the rhythm and soul of a dead kangaroo,

(Chant) Or a Swiss waiter who works in a small hotel on the shores of Lake Geneva, who reads Harold Robbins novels translated into Swiss and who breeds goldfish and who plays the kazoo

        I got them too short,
        Oh I got them too short,
        Yes I got them short white blues.

For another take on the same theme, check out Folk Singer's Blues (in DT, of course)
