Try not to be too brutal.


He came to me a student
Claimin’ he want to learn the blues
He seeking fame and fortune, but
Right now he got nothing to lose
He said that he’d do anything
Go ahead name my price
Although I have compassion
I ain’t known for being nice……(laughter)

This fool he showed up every night
And I’d show him a couple licks
The student caught on really well
I was amazed at just how quick
The riffs he put together
Would surely teach his name
With the dues he’d soon be paying
In no time he’ll have his fame

The green backs soon came in bundles
The women appeared in droves
How quickly he’s soon forgotten
To me the dues he owes
I remind him oh so subtle
Of the bill that’s gone unpaid
he bows his head, he starts to cry
as he looks down upon his grave

So if you get to thinking
You could do some fortune and fame
Just think of ole Robert Johnson
Who didn’t survive the game
Yea he surely had his moment
But he paid a hefty price
When he made a deal so careless
with one who ain’t no Mr. nice

Love it! Well done.
For some reason when I read it, I imagined it with the melody of "Devil Went Down to Georgia".
