12 Bar Blues on Soundcloud
12 Bar Blues on YouTube I have a bunch of new ones I haven't posted yet, but this one is around 40 years old. It was one of the first songs I posted here, but this is a remake with Dave Bell. Wow, what a difference. Another reason for the difference is you folks of this forum. Man, I learned a lot in 5 years, and still have a lot more to learn. Maybe i'll be back with another version in 5 years to show what you taught me by then.

Dave Bell (
Blue Attitude) played guitar. I played bass and sang.
12- Bars BlueFlight 507 flew in from Dallas.
Sue stepped off crying. She said, "Who's Alice?"
I said, "She's just someone who's no one, so don't get so upset.
There's hardly any mem'ry left inside me to forget.
When I miss you, I drink the stew inside these 12 bars... blue."
She said, "Don't tell me you've lost your memory.
I heard the dirt from her husband Henry."
I said, "You don't know what you're saying. Her husband Henry's dead.
Some red-hot barmaid, Dinah, might o' blasted off his head."
She said, "It's true!! So that was YOU when those 12 bars blew."
I daresn't doddle, but doodle little.
I'm fit for bottle, but not for fiddle.
I'm not in shape for haulin' [*****], so let those Mounties come.
I'm dining in my glass. You know I'm not just acting dumb.
She told the screws, "I've got good news. He's playin' 12-bar blues.
Judge said my travel he's gonna limit.
When I smell trouble, I double back in it.
My life's a nutshell in a cold cell. I still say, "Alice who?"
There's 12 bars out my window ---and 12 on them, too.
I think of Sue, and drink to stew, behind those 12 bars. Blue.
