Hyperbole Minstrel Blues

I'm singing my song I'm gonna sing 'til I ain't poor no more
I'm singing my song I'm gonna sing 'til I ain't poor no more
It's gonna take a lot of singing
but I'm gonna sing 'til my voice get too sore.

Guy in my hotel says I ain't got no rent
Guy in my hotel says I ain't got no rent
I say "landlord I'm sorry - I ain't got a cent"

Train tracks are burning and the mid day sun shining in the sky
Train tracks are burning and the mid day sun shining in the sky
Well those tracks won't be a burning
when that coal train comes to take me tonight

I gotta get me a couple dollars to ride me that train to Missouri
I gotta get me a couple dollars to ride me that train to Missouri
I'll stand here and holler my blues 'til I get enough to leave.

Guitars just a humming
nickel and dime nickel and dime
Guitar just a humming
nickel and dime nickel and dime
I maybe broke and hungry but my stomping foot keeps good time

I'm singing my song I'm gonna sing 'til I ain't poor no more
I'm singing my song I'm gonna sing 'til I ain't poor no more
It's gonna take a lot of singing
but I'm gonna sing 'til my voice get too sore.

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
