blues on a pink guitar.

well she's as pretty as a picture on a magazine
never gonna want me 'cept in my dreams
and she needs a man to keep her and it won't be me
cos i be working for the man until eternity
i be a slave to the dollar  be a slave to the cent
but the chickenshit they give me won't pay my rent
well the man don't look as if he wants for much
lillywhite hands never done a day's work
but he say i'm lazy and i'm filled with greed
and if i work hard i'll get what i need
well i've worked my fingers down to the bone
and he has it all and i got none
and when the work is done and he don't need me
they tell me i'm burden to society

Oh hell yeah!  Down home, straight to the point blues.  On yer daughter's pink gtr no less!  James you continue to amaze me w the depth and breadth of your musical ability.  Seems you can take on anything and make it your own.  Very well done!  DD

Well - you had me intrigued by the title.
This is a really good blues tune. It hits all the right marks.

I really like the lyrics ORH.
I think this one could fit anywhere from the Mississippi Delta to Wall St.

(might just need to paint that guitar blue now)
