Um... I'm sorry.

Hard Daddy
I went to ma daddy,
Says Daddy I have got the blues.
Went to ma daddy,
Says Daddy I have got the blues
Ma daddy says, Honey,
Can't you bring no better news?
Excerpt from Hard Daddy by Langston Hughes.
I love the way Hughes takes the traditional blues meter and uses it for short poetry. I can actually hear the chord changes as I read this.
If I could get my mike to work again, I'd make a recording of it.
