Union Blue--a very personal, underground song
"Union Blue--a very personal, underground song"
Mercury delivery--me--not a garden-variety mortal, yet an organic form of man, John Barleycorning my nightshade after laboring at the local newspaper, regally rising from a pimple-faced paperboy to a merciful manager with a shaggy goatee and creeping out all the pseudo-ladies. Anyway, my Country Boss told me: "Boy--there ain't nothing better than walking barefoot on a plantation of naked titties." Ahem--here's the ditty--total writing time: 1 minute and 39 seconds.
Slinging papers under crescent moon glow,
Down in the South sending insight to the crow;
I came across a coyote laying dead on the road,
Took a look'n at his spirit and my shy did erode--
Talking to the ladies with couth in my glass--
No greedy hand-grabbing but glances at the ass--
Adore the pubs and every domestic bar
That tolerates with love my Yankee bizarre.
