I've Always Been A One Man Band (Purgatory Hill Harp)

Nothing better on a snowbound day than to make and watch Blues videos on the 'Nation!
Here's a simple (biographical) song and debut for my new Johnny Lowebow Purgatory Hill Harp, a rare 4 string lefty and sounding as clear as ice and clean as fresh snow, though careful when you hit all the strings could start an avalanche!

PLAY LOUD!

SAID ANYBODY SEE_______N MY ONE MAN BAND.
I'VE ALWAYS BEE______N MY ONE MAN BAND.
HAVE YEW SEEN, I SAID ANYBODY SEEN?
HAVE YEW SEEN, I SAID ANYBODY SEEN?
I'M AN INDEPENDENT SOUL, JUST TRYIN' TO BE ME.
FELT MORE ALONE BEIN' WEDDED,
LOR_________D LET ME STAY FREE.

THE FIRST TIME I GOT WEDDED IT WAS SHEER PURGATORY,
SHE WAS A CAGED BIRD.......SHE SET HERSELF FREE.

THE NEXT TIME I GOT WEDDED IT WAS SHEER PURGATORY,
I WAS A CAGED BIRD......I SET MYSELF FREE.

CHORUS.

AIN'T GOT NO CHILDREN TO EVER WORRY ME.
AIN'T NEVER HAD NO TROUBLE WITH LEGAL PATERNITY.

THOUGH I MISSED OUT ON THE RICHES
OF LONG TIME MARRIED BLISS,
I GOT A LOT OF KISSES FROM MANY A WAYWARD MISS !

CHORUS

From forthcoming album "Keep Calm and Play Blues"
