Nine Finger Blues

I can't play blues guitar.
I can't wash a pan.
I can't roll a meatball.
I only got one hand!

I can't make a ponytail.
I can't box.
I can't tie my shoes.
I can't pull up my socks!

I got the blues. It's sad, sad news.
I got the hand in a bandage, Big BooBoo! Nine Finger Blues.

I can't wash my right elbow.
I can barely get dressed.
I can't open a jar.
That's what got me into this mess!!

I got the blues. Oh yeah, it's bad news.
I got the hand-splinted, bandaged-up, mighty sore, really stiff,
cranky ass, cry baby, Big BooBoo, Nine Finger Blues.

sounds great will work it with a e-7th blues riff, but you might have to sing it, thinkin' in a Janis Joplin style....maybe Bonnie Raitt but you are more of a Janis girl to me.

But you got rhythm, baby, and you got me jiving along in my kitchen.

Sorry about your finger.

It hurts me just THINKING about it.

I've lived with only one working hand for a while. No fun!
