Blues music
Rings freely through each ear
Rhythm and soul to help your mind grow
It brings one back to simpler times
Drinking bittersweet moonshine
Working in the cotton fields on hot summer days
Sitting back in old rocking chairs
Playing tunes on the old banjo
Tapping toes to the tunes on an old harmonica
Jamming around with the silky sound of a smooth clarinet
Sweat pouring down all around our Sunday best
No time to frown as jubilation now surrounds us
Young offspring hop carelessly about catching butterflies in the vast lily fields
