Blues

[svanhoeven]

Like psalms that tell of hardship and pain,
^-- When I think of hardship in the Bible, I think of Job.
forbearance and strength from bearing chains,
Blues makes one weep for this unholy world
way before the twelfth bar.

Felt the blues to my roots
when I had no boots
and wandered down Nowhere Street;
but they melted away
on the revival day,
^-- Confused me a bit. I think of a revival as an event. So maybe something like:

but they melted and went
out the revival tent

I met a feller
who had no feet.
