Black Oak Arkansas - Black Blues Lyrics






Yeah, gunna sing a song about the blues
And man and his hallucinations
Oh the rust stains in my pathway
And the gravestones of my here say say
I been crammed up my byway
As the milestones of every every day
But the truth is here to find
And I'm gunna make it mine
And I'll find it my way

Oh jealousy reeks with pain and time
But why are so many good eyes blind?
Will they ever stop a fightin' long enough to find
Their way to happiness and peace of mind?
Or will they end up eatin' the flesh of their own kind?

Oh, I don't wear no uniform
Yeah, and I don't carry a gun
But I can tell you many many wars
That I have lost and won
Yeah, and my friends might as me
What color are these blues?
And then I might say
Black is their color, black as any ordinary day

Yeah, gunna sing a song about the blues
And man and his hallucinations
Oh the rust stains in my pathway
And the gravestones of my here say say
I been crammed up my byway
As the milestones of every every day
But the truth is here to find
And I'm gunna make it mine
And I'll find it my way

  2. D.... G....

    Love this song and his voice is the best, raunchy, gravely and sexy.

  3. S.... L....

    Great! !!!! "2018 " !!!!!!!

  4. R.... B....

    Love Jim's vocals on anything! The beginning of "Strong Enough to be Gentle" - where he sounds like a wizened, Confederate Captain, wounded and lost in the woods, and maybe down to his last bottle of White Lightning! I think Axl Rose took so much from Mister Dandy.

    R.... B....

    And I thought I was the only man who ever thought Axl Rose got his voice from the one and only. This is an absolute gem. The guitar is simply magnificent and the lyrics and vocals are a favorite for this lost northern Canadian soul. Thank you to Steve for getting me hooked up to Black Oak man, they are one hell of a band.

  5. R.... D....

    saw them in Marion, Ohio back in 72 ( I think) lol...

    R.... D....

    saw them 7 times back in the 70's at the spectrum in philly. what a time to be alive. times were great and so was the music. we will never experience music like that again. i was so lucky to be born when i was. 1954. times are very dark and evil now. todays music sucks. some glimmer of rock and roll left. but very few and far between.

  12. L.... K....

    Pretty kewl. I thought I'd heard every tune these boys ever did but this is a first for me. Jim sounds like he oughta, amen, singin' the blues but that snarky guitar work (Rickie maybe?) and the thud of the drum bring just the right flow for him to ride on, if you get my drift.

  13. C.... B....

    He uses his vocals.not just bellow out noise.

  14. t.... j....
