17 May 04 - 11:33 PM (#1187580) Subject: Lyr Add: SHORT WHITE BLUES (Eric Bogle) From: Alaska Mike 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. |
