Fergus Sings The Blues
fergus sings the blues
in bars of twelve of less
i'm a stranger to the land
to this wilderness
all things are possible but happen less and less
this is my country these are my reasons
'cause i look in the mirror
and it throws back the question
and i whisper in words
that beg an answer
tell me can this white man sing the blues
homesick james my biggest influence
tell my why james and bobby purify
i'm lost in music sweet soul music
this is my country these are my reasons
'cause i look in the mirror
and it throws back the question
and i whisper in words
that beg an answer
tell me can this white man sing the blues
from the north coast to the uplands
stay on the left side of the white lines
from the campsies over christmas
i still dream of memphis
'cause i look in the mirror
and it throws back the question
and i whisper in words
that beg an answer
i got the blue blue world
and i see the blue blue sky
i got the blue blue ocean
in my blue eye
so tell me can this white man sing the blues
