Jenrose and the Kentucky Bootleggers: Music

To My Lucinda (Lose These Blues)

(Jenrose And The Kentucky Bootleggers)
A duet with the illustrious Tom Urie!
HER:
Sittin’ here all alone in the barroom
Under the blue neon sign
You’re sittin’ there in the corner
Drinkin’ your whisky like wine

HIM:
Won’t you pull up a seat by the jukebox
We’ll drop in a dollar or two

BOTH:
And baby maybe we could lose these blues

HER:
Well you could play Conway to my Loretta
George Jones to my Tammy Wynette (HIM: Alright…)
Nursin’ your heartache and cursin’ your fate
Til you’re down to your last cigarette

HIM:
We could be Porter and Dolly
Or we could be Johnny and June

HER:
Or you could be Elvis to my Lucinda
And sing me an old country tune
And if you could be Roy, well I’d be k.d.
And I’d cry-y-y-y over you

BOTH:
And baby maybe we could lose these blues

HER:
Now I’d be your honky tonk angel
If you could be ol’ Charley Pride

HIM:
We might come from two different places

BOTH:
But we’ve both got some Hank inside

HER:
So if you pretended that you were Gram Parsons

HIM:
Then you could be young Emmylou

BOTH:
And baby maybe we could lose these blues

HER:
And if you could be Willie…
Then I could be Waylon

HIM: (laughs)
We’d sing Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies
Grow Up to be Cowboys

Her:
(Or cowgirls…)

BOTH:
Do do do do do do do do do…

HER:
So darlin’ if you’re feelin’ Haggard
Let’s see what a quarter can do

HIM:
Won’t you pull up a seat by the jukebox
We’ll play something tried and true

BOTH:
And we’ll pound our fists down on the table
We’ll belt out a chorus or two
And baby maybe we can lose these blues
Baby maybe we can lose these blues
