Indigo Blues

I got these blues in the mornin',

I got these blues around my head.
I got these blues in the mornin',
If I don’t get me some lovin' soon I’ll be dead.

I’m worn out, wet and weary,
‘Sing these blues up to the sky.
I’m worn out, wet and weary,
‘And so down I can barely fly.

‘Need a blue-feathered woman, Lord,
A gal to put my heart at rest.
‘Need a fine blue-feathered woman, Lord,
Someone who’ll sit upon my nest.

Yes I got these blues in the mornin',
’Ain’t got nuthin else but this tree.
Yeah I got these blues in the mornin',
'Want someone to share this branch with me.

I got these blues in the mornin,’
I got these blues around my head.
I got these blues in the mornin,’
If I don’t get me some lovin' soon I’ll be dead.

Note: I took some "artistic license" with this one: a female Indigo Bunting is actually BROWN...

I see "Mr. Blue" (Ms?) (Brokeback Branch?) has found a voice.

I haven't seen an indigo blue in several years.....glad to know they are in the neighborhood. It is the most incredible blue I have ever seen....almost surreal.

Thanks for this.
