When You Play The Blues Poem by Dorsey Baker

When you play the blues
they are the master
you are the slave
When you play the blues
you've got to think about
all the blues
all the great blues men
have already played
when youplay the blues
you know that they
aint no joke
because the blues is an art
and you've got to
give them
every piece ojf your heart
when you play the blues
you don't play around
with them
like a toy
when you play the blues
you give the people
what they want
you give them something
that they
can really really enjoy!
