Jenrose: Music
To My Lucinda (Lose These Blues)
(Jenrose And The Kentucky Bootleggers)
A duet with the illustrious Tom Urie!
HER:
Sittin’ here all alone in the barroom
Under the blue neon sign
You’re sittin’ there in the corner
Drinkin’ your whisky like wine
HIM:
Won’t you pull up a seat by the jukebox
We’ll drop in a dollar or two
BOTH:
And baby maybe we could lose these blues
HER:
Well you could play Conway to my Loretta
George Jones to my Tammy Wynette (HIM: Alright…)
Nursin’ your heartache and cursin’ your fate
Til you’re down to your last cigarette
HIM:
We could be Porter and Dolly
Or we could be Johnny and June
HER:
Or you could be Elvis to my Lucinda
And sing me an old country tune
And if you could be Roy, well I’d be k.d.
And I’d cry-y-y-y over you
BOTH:
And baby maybe we could lose these blues
HER:
Now I’d be your honky tonk angel
If you could be ol’ Charley Pride
HIM:
We might come from two different places
BOTH:
But we’ve both got some Hank inside
HER:
So if you pretended that you were Gram Parsons
HIM:
Then you could be young Emmylou
BOTH:
And baby maybe we could lose these blues
HER:
And if you could be Willie…
Then I could be Waylon
HIM: (laughs)
We’d sing Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies
Grow Up to be Cowboys
Her:
(Or cowgirls…)
BOTH:
Do do do do do do do do do…
HER:
So darlin’ if you’re feelin’ Haggard
Let’s see what a quarter can do
HIM:
Won’t you pull up a seat by the jukebox
We’ll play something tried and true
BOTH:
And we’ll pound our fists down on the table
We’ll belt out a chorus or two
And baby maybe we can lose these blues
Baby maybe we can lose these blues
