Sing Your Woes - Chip Withrow

NiftyFinety.com: All 50/90 Demos

This song is an example of how my brain (perhaps yours, too) works during 50/90. I was writing a bluegrass instrumental in E minor, and I took a detour to discover the E minor riff for this song. After writing this one, I came across a lyric that I like by someone else so I set it to music, too. Then I recorded both. Now I'm waiting for the skirmish that starts in less than 10 minutes. Listen up, I got news If you want to sing the blues Deep in debt or a bad breakup Kind of stuff you can’t make up You can sing all day long sing your woes to this here song A song just for miserable folks Who been the butt of cosmic jokes Teenage son stole all your beer Go ahead – insert your own tragedy here Anything that’s done you wrong Sing your woes to this here song Leaky roof, clogged sewer line Insert your mishap in this line You’re dog bit the neighbor now he’s gonna sue Whatever’s pouring down on you I gots just the song for youse If you want to sing the blues Lost your job, your car won’t start Turn your misfortune into art A way for losers to belong Sing your woes to this here song We can sing ‘em all night long Sing your woes to this here song
