    HAPPY BLUES (in sweet Ole Baton Rouge)

    Slow week
    So sweet
    Ain't nobody for miles around
    I'm fittin ta-gettin
    What I been fa-gettin
    When my baby removes
    Her bedroom gown

    Gravel
    Cracklin under tires
    On these back country
    Roads I roam
    Ain't no need 4 phones
    When me and my baby moan
    The lyrics 2 a Happy Blues
    Down here
    In sweet, Ole Baton Rouge

    Early
    Sunday mornin
    A line is formin
    At Trinity Baptist Church
    I see a Kingbird
    On his perch
    Swayin 2 the hymns
    Guess he feelin
    The Spirit of God within

    After service
    A stop by the general store
    2 pick up The Advocate
    And a Times-Picayune
    All the fellas gather
    4 some down home palaver
    But my baby wants me home soon

    Sunday
    Afternoon strollin
    Down on North Blvd
    The Old State Capitol
    Is where we first met
    We climbed the stairs
    And kissed under the stained glass dome
    A kiss I'll never forget

    Easin
    My stress load
    Meetin Jill and her hubby
    Down on Jones Creek Road
    At Jasmines on the Bayou
    Like its namesake
    Time meanders on by You
    When U share Shrimp Creole
    A Crawfish Etoufee
    Or two


    Dancin
    2 the lyrical Sonnet
    Of two Bluebonnets
    High up in
    A Sweetbay Magnolia tree
    Just my baby and me
    Kissin tenderly
    Seems like ain't nobody
    For miles around

    Forgive me
    But I ain't never
    Knew What It Means
    To Miss New Orleans
    'Cuz me and my baby
    Make love 2 a Happy Blues
    Right here
    In good Ole Baton Rouge


    Dedicated 2 Sister Brenda and her Husband
    Much love and respect
