ATF: Black and Blue

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Black Betty had a child

Bambalam
You know that's no lie

She's so rock steady
Bambalam
She's always ready
Bambalam
Whoa black Betty

Blue On Black
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Night
Falls
And I’m alone
Skin
Yeah chilled
Me to the bone
You
Turned
And
You ran
Oh yeah
Oh slipped
Right from my hand

Hey
Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don’t mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man’s touch
Whisper on a screen
Doesn’t change a thing
Don’t bring you back
Blue on black
Oh yeah
Blue on black

Blind
Oh
Now I see
Truth
Lies
And in between
A wrong
Can’t be undone
Oh slipped
From the tip of your tongue

Hey
Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don’t mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man’s touch
Whisper on a screen
Doesn’t change a thing
Doesn’t bring you back
Yeah yeah
Blue on black

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don’t mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man’s touch
Whisper on a screen
Doesn’t change a thing
Doesn’t bring you back
Blue on black
Oh
Oh
Blue on black
Oh
Blue on black

  1. While 'Black Betty' heads in the right direction I feel somewhat disappointed at the lack of depth in the lyrics.
    Maybe it's just me....

  4. Thanks for stopping by, my dear TWG!!! Black Betty is most certainly one of those tunes where most (I would think) go, "OH YEAH!," as soon as it starts.
