Tonight in Bolton it's Guitar and Verse
They forecast heavy rain was gonna fall
I drove through light rain, it coulda been worse
Parked near the bar, not far to meet 'em all
Well the two or three who were there - not full
But I was early. Tuned up, strummed awhile
Gradually there came more and more people
Some with morose faces, some with a smile
Some came from afar, some just came a mile
As usual when I'm singing, so nervous
I forget the words learned in rehearsal
Perplexing when the song seems so simple
The audience didn't know all of the words
Either, thank God. Lyrics are my downfall
Bolton! My home town ... I hope you rocked the Spinning Mules
ReplyDeleteYes - Bolton - the venue = Butterflies, a newish bar. It's a good venue for poetry and singing. I rocked q well, just forgot the words once or twice!
