A little response to George Carlin's bit about why white people shouldn't play blues. Keith Boyce copyright 2011

I saw a George Carlin rant on why white people shouldn't play the blues a few years ago and wrote this as a kind of response to his arguement. This is the title song of the 6 song cd by jo' blues of original songs - mainly acoustic blues - to come out in August 2011.

Well I was born in the ghetto, but that dont mean I aint been poor. Broke down and busted, sleeping on some dirty floor. Well I know what its like to lose... You bet your ass I got the blues I aint lived down in the Delta where Muddy water turns to wine. But I drove through Mississippi and I think I saw the sign. Well I know what its like to lose... You bet your ass I got the blues I aint got no fancy hat and all my hair dont want to grow and when I asked that little girl She told me I just dont know Well I know what its like to lose... You bet your ass I got the blues Yeah, I know what its like to lose... You bet your ass I got the blues x
