about

The germ of this idea came from 'Jim's Blues' riffed by Dan Klass in the late 1980's at WHEB-FM in Portsmouth NH.

Since the contest needed a song without rhymes, we went with a version that used similes instead.

lyrics

I may be getting old, but I’m not to old to sing the blues
 
I’m getting older, my memory’s startin’ to go
Yes, I’m getting’ older, my memory’s startin’ to go
Somebody please help me
‘Cause I can’t remember no….thing.
 
The words are all mixed up, can’t make ‘em rhyme
Yeah, those words are mixed up, can’t even make ‘em rhyme
Don’t know what’s the problem
I used to do it all the…way.
 
So I went down to the crossroads, my guitar by my side
I went on down to the crossroads, my guitar by my side
I got nowhere to run, baby,
I got no place to...sit down.

You know my woman left me, you know she did me wrong. Yes she did.
You know my woman left me, you know she done me wrong
She left me all alone here
That’s why I’m singing this…tune.
 
Sometimes I forget that my baby just ain't true
I said sometimes I forget that mean old woman just ain't true
I got those memory-sapping
Mean old Alzheimer's...orange ... fuchia or maybe some shade of red...

Old guys who should know better. The ones your parents warned you about. Allan Morgan and Tom Giarrosso head this version of BYD with Scott Mercer and Partick Montello, using rabid optimism that they'll be remembered for more than just all those Elvis Traffic interactives with DJ's around the USA. ... more
