David Harley Words & Music & Pictures &…

As if I ever…

Fairly recent video version of a relic of the times when I aspired to be a hardass blues player…

Words & Music (c) David Harley I don’t do a lot of real country blues, but from time to time I try to write something in that idiom. Though I probably wouldn’t go for anything as badass as this, at this time of my life…

I was drunk last night, drunk the night before x2
I’ll be drunk again this evening, but I won’t be drunk no more

I don’t mind coffee, milk or even tea
But water without whisky is just too strong for me

Feeling tomorrow like I do today
I’ll break your hard-rock head and make my getaway

If you quit me baby, tell you what I’ll do:
Drink a quart of whisky and let it out all over you

I was drunk last night, drunk the night before x2
I’ll be drunk again this evening, but I won’t be drunk no more
