Puttin' history to a stop dontcha see I'm a cryin' Come on welcome me and my Countryside Blues Band Hear that slide guitar wail and hollow come on now wontcha give me a dolla' We've a been playing Dylan covers and Jordon covers and those awful mean John Lee Hooker tunes come on hear us play and give us a dolla' My hero's name is Lennon and my friend's name is Paul and we've been playing in our Countryside Blues Band ever since the world began We don't play no country tunes we play straight folk Dontcha know we're the Countryside Blues Band Add a little rock'n'roll to spice up the invasion come on now dontcha know we're takin' over got a few drum rolls from a harlot Moon and we've been learnin' all we can about the blues from Blind Willie McTell We saw the flood a' Noah and we seen Adam and Eve We seen the Civil War (dontcha know war ain't Civil) and we been put in chain gangs Ain't nobody been around longer than the Countryside Blues Band you know it we can play it everyone altogether know clap your hands throw your fists up in the air down with the establishment We played that scene and we played political rallies Everyone loves the Countryside Blues Band We got a little secret we ain't never told no one the true leader is John Lennon and he done organized our music so here's to you John and your Fab, Fab ways Wontcha all welcome, come on know clap your hands you know who they are JOHN LENNON AND THE COUNTRYSIDE BLUES BAND!!!!!!!!!Written August 19th, 2000 © on Oct 24 2001 06:40 AM PST, Michael Edward London    contemporary • dark • hope • nature • personal • sad • society • spiritual • thoughts • weird
