Fergus Sings The Blues

fergus sings the blues

in bars of twelve of less

i'm a stranger to the land

to this wilderness

all things are possible but happen less and less

this is my country these are my reasons

'cause i look in the mirror

and it throws back the question

and i whisper in words

that beg an answer

tell me can this white man sing the blues

homesick james my biggest influence

tell my why james and bobby purify

i'm lost in music sweet soul music

this is my country these are my reasons

'cause i look in the mirror

and it throws back the question

and i whisper in words

that beg an answer

tell me can this white man sing the blues

from the north coast to the uplands

stay on the left side of the white lines

from the campsies over christmas

i still dream of memphis

'cause i look in the mirror

and it throws back the question

and i whisper in words

that beg an answer

i got the blue blue world

and i see the blue blue sky

i got the blue blue ocean

in my blue eye

so tell me can this white man sing the blues
