Rufus Taught Hank the Blues
March 21, 2008 Stan Loh

Verse 1
He came from the streets of Georgiana,
His home a dingy shack,
Guitar, harp and red bandanna,
The blues upon his back.
From nowhere came a scrawny boy,
Not quite eleven years old,
A Silvertone his Christmas joy,
Three chords he could hold.

Chorus
Rufus taught Hank the blues,
Rufus taught Hank the blues,
He taught him lifts,
He taught him riffs,
Rufus taught Hank the blues.

Verse 2
Door to door for Greenville pennies,
They shared the coins each night,
Next stop were the whiskey alleys,
The love of black and white,
And mama didnt care, and papa was gone,
The lonesome whippoorwill,
It hurt inside, his heart forlorn,
He loved Jack Daniels still.

Bridge
Dont forget Rufus Payne,
When he plays you feel the pain,
The Bluesohthe blues
Rufus taught Hank, oh Rufus taught Hank the bluuueees.

Verse 3
The boy became an Opry star,
Indeed he fared damn well,
But booze and blues began to scar,
Whisky and fame are pals,
Old Rufus still played the cold, cold streets,
The boy played to surging crowds,
There was a time they were to meet,
The booze just made him proud.
Repeat Chorus/ Repeat Bridge

Dear Stan,

Thanks for the recent submission. I listened to "Rufus Taught Hank The Blues"
I thought there were lots of good clever lines in the song.
Unfortunately we'll have to pass on it. It's entire style in all regards would be too difficult to shop and place today.

Thanks again
Sincerely
Mr Knowitall

Thanks!
Peace Mike
