Why Betty Sings the Blues
© 2007
Dan Johnson

Betty has had herself a real bad day,
Seems like nothing’s going her way
She lost her man,
Lost her job,
Landlord says she lives like a slob,
And she got no money to pay her union dues,
That’s why Betty sings the blues.

No man to love her true ,
Old memories from way back when…is
The only thing she has that is brand new.
Betty cries
Betty lies
Betty sighs…”what’s the use”
Maybe…that’s why Betty sings the blues.

Poor old Betty…she sings those blues.

Dan Johnson

A great beginning to a song, Dan. I like it. Willie Nelson-style perhaps??
