Song12 - Lonely Dog Blues

Last year I did a rockabilly song about our 2 cats (See Stout and Alba in the music section). In order to be "equal opportunity" I decided to do a dog song. It didn't start out as a dog song - just a blues song- but the image of a lonely old hound dog slumped in a battered easy chair waiting for its master to come home stuck and so that's what it is. With a small bit of stretching the lyrics could be applied to a human.

As always this was done with one take per track, so forgive the roughness.

LYRICS

Lonely Dog Blues

I got the blues so bad
I can't get outta this chair
I got the blues so bad
I ain't gonna go nowhere
Well, I'm gonna stay
till I hear you say
you've come back for me now

Bow wow

I got the blues so bad
I can't get around
The food's no good
feel's like I'm in the pound
I know that somethin's wrong
since you been gone
that I can not fix no how

bow wow

I got the blues so bad
I aint gonna chase that cat
you know the facts
that cat aint where its at
I'm gonna stay right here
till you are near
till you tell that cat to scat

bow wow
