Poison Pillow

I keep Walking in these shoes                                                                                    

Where I’m headin I can’t tell                                                                                   

It’s been so long sense I felt good                                                                                        

Do you feel pain as well                                                                                   

 

I lost what is left of me                                                     

It’s a hole you cannot fill

A bottle full of liquor

And a bottle full of pills

 

 

I met a lover long ago

What her name is

I can’t  guess

She was poison for my pillow

To this day I cannot rest

 

 

So I keep Walking

Walking in these shoes

Where I’m headin

Can only mean the blues

 

Some say that there’s a heaven

Some say that there’s a hell

To tell the truth my friend

My brain so cloudy

I can’t  tell

 

And I keep walking

Walking in these shoes

I keep walking

Till I no longer have the blues

 

My pants are torn

My feet are worn

These rotten teeth

Still smile

My eyes are clouded

The skin is padded

Like an ancient

Crocodile

 

Thoughts fade upon memory

Of a face

I can not see

I’m walking

Wondering who I used to be

 

So I keep walking

I keep walking in these shoes

I keep walking

Till I no longer have the blues

 

 

Here's a fun blues song that I wrote. It can be done so many different ways.

Without the music, you'll just have to hear it in your head and go for it.

I'm interested to hear others do their version of my lyrics. I usually write with a tune in my head so that's kinda cheating but I think this can be done. I'm sharing them with all of you. FYI I hold the copy rights to all my songs. Just please enjoy them and I hope you like them.

I Must Have Something To Do

 

 

The way it begins

In the early morning

I'd like to sleep in

It's the same old story

 

Had to rock myself

To the edge of the bed

Head is cloudy

Might as well be dead

 

I stumble in search

Of something to wear

I gaze in the mirror

For a moment I stare

 

 

Through the fog and the haze

I must have something to do

 

My cup of coffee

Taste like shoes

I thank the Lord

Baby I got you

 

A honey do list

Sits on the table

I once knew a gal once

Her name was Mabel

 

Now come to think of it

I must have something to do

 

OK: Here's a song I wrote up just minutes ago to share with everyone. As lyrics go, they are subjective to your own interpretation and so please take the liberty to play with these lines and adjust accordingly. What I'd like to see is anybody meaning everybody, do their rendition of the song. I record mine and post it. It would be interesting to hear other players mess around with this.

Frank, check out my videos. Most are 3 string. I have 2 tutorials on Amazing Grace and one on a finger style version of One Black rat.

Would like to fret my 3-string. Cannot find free video or instructions on finger picking and/or using freets. Usually tuned EBE but videos, tabs, instructions for any tuning would be appreciated!

I just added my first multitrack recording to my page. Looped the 12 bars and recorded the vocals with effects. Guitar is tuned open Gmin.
