[b][u]Blue Roof Blues[/b][/u]
In the Parish of Orleans,
One fine August day,
Big wind come along
Blew my ol' roof away!
I got da blew-way roof blues.
They say go see daMayor,
Gon' git'cha a new one.
Mercy, oh m’ghawd,
All he had was a blue one!
I got da blue roof blues…
My pretty new roof,
Kept da rain f'om commin’ in.
But wouldn’cha know it,
Could not take da wind!
My blue roof done blew away!
So I call up da gov’na,
She say 'ply for a new one.
But it take six mo’ mon’
Fore my papers go thru on...
My new blue roof!
Now I’m out on da fron’ po’ch,
Jus’ a tryin ta stay high.
It’s da on’y place in da house
That ever stay dry…
I got da new blue roof blew away blues.--T
