Blues is Something to Think About

Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

      A traditional statement about
      a traditional situation
      with a new response,
      Or,
      another ending for
      One-Sided Bed Blues

I say I'm lonesome now,
              but I bet' not be lonesome long
Yeah, I'm lonesome now,
              but I don't need to be lonesome too long:
You know, it take a do-right man
              to make a pretty woman sing a lonesome song.

Written by Sherley Anne Williams (1944-1999)
