Lyrics

Can This Black Man Sing The Blues? © On my way to church one Sunday morning; I ran into this old man. Who declared today was “Blues Day.” Who declared yesterday was “Blues Day.” I asked him, in a vehement tone. “Man, what you talking „bout?” He responded, “You know; “We‟ve‟ been singing the blues for a long time.” “We‟ve been singing the blues for a long time.” “I couldn‟t imagine life without these old-tyme hymns”. “These old-tyme hymns make me feel alive.” Life, well life; Wouldn‟t be the same. Life, well life; Wouldn‟t be the same. It‟s our heritage you see. Our legacy. From the cotton fields and the lily fields…and the African plains: Can this black man sing blues? To Jim Crow and Martin King; From Martin King to the Katrina waves. Can this black man sing the blues? Can this black man sing the blues? Can this black man sing the blues? © Eugene Jacquescoley Music Group 1/2/2006
