Description

Here is my take on Adam Prawlocki's "Moccasin Blues" which he posted a while ago as an Open Collaboration. His playing is a lot better than my singing but I do what I can ;-)

I've had some recent nudges from my musical muse but so far this is all I've got. I submit it just for fun.

Lyrics

MOCCASIN BLUES v2

Got snakes in my head
Got snakes in my brain
Won't you help me Lord
Won't you ease my pain

Everywhere I go
I see her face
She follows me around
All over the place

She done me wrong
But I can't get free
Won't you help me Lord
Won't you pity me

Got snakes in my head
Got snakes in my brain
Won't you help me lord
Before I go insane

Got snakes in my brain
And snakes in my heart
You know these mean ol' snakes
Are tearing me apart

Got snakes in my pockets
Got snakes in my shoes
So many goddamn' snakes
Give me the moccasin blues

Got snakes in my head
Got snakes in my brain
Won't you help me Lord
Before I go insane

	Moccasin blues Nice swampy feel to it all, both in the guitar and the voice. Some interesting lyrics there - those snakes sure are persistent! Good fun song, Richard. Check out my latest song called Coming Home (MJCC2013)

	The snakes in Spain... Nice authentic vibe, Richard. Your vocals and lyrics complement Adam's swampy guitar work well. Were there snakes on a plane as well? :-) Thanks for the post. Regards, Peter. Check out my latest song called Sailor's Warning w jiguma, Philip18

	Parody? What's that? Seriously, I don't think you should be laughing at my mental afflictions, especially when that nest between my ears gets REALLY agitated when I try listening to some of your work. Maybe you have some snakes too ;-) Check out my latest song called Caledonia

Richard who loves ya?
I do of course! (If my work agitates you I have succeeded lol). The idea that you can make fun of this genre and get away with it so easily is fine with me... the music in this genre inspired a generation of boomers... just consider that Beefheart took himself seriously as well... lol. That guitar line is wonderful!

	Back at ya, dude! Hugs all around. It's the snakes that get agitated; I just lie back comfortably and let the mellow sounds wash over me ;-) And I have NEVER been accused of taking myself seriously. You are right about the guitar track. I thank you for both of us. Check out my latest song called Caledonia

	I hate snakes. I went to a zoo where I was surrounded by a few hundred snakes. I had the worst nightmare that night. I woke up screaming. You sound like a boozed up, down on yer luck guy trying to exorcise some demons. It would fit in the film, Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou. You did great. Thanks.
