BUSKER BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

drop in a nickel
drop in a buck
I aint no bum but I'm down on my luck
just need a little more
to hit the road
though from here
I got no where to go
so if you like the sound of my style
just listen here a while

back in Juilliard
they tole me I's great
but then I made one fatal mistake
I turned to rock
when they only wanted Bach
they threw me out
though I knocked and I knocked
but even the rockers thought I was too clean
I guess they wanted something obscene

in the clubs
they wanted dub
in the band
they wanted grand
in the orchestra
what they do to ya
in the bars
I wouldn't go that far
so now I sit next to daily news
singing the busker blues

the busker blues is all I got
the busker blues I sing a lot
the busker blues is all I know
the busker blues a long row to hoe
the busker blues me and youse
we gonna do the busker blues
