New Doc Watson Blues
I rarely have prayed
For a place to invade
I don’t have to look for my prey.
When I bring lethal woes
To strangers and foes;
It’s how leaders all get through their day.
Political blues.
Is all in the news;
Maybe I’ll snooze
When it’s over.
Pass me the booze
Nothing to lose
Don’t want to live my life sober.
I might be the guy
Who murders a spy
In London or north Patagonia.
I may kill the man
Who runs Kazakhstan
Stifles his brood with ammonia. .
