The Claymore Blues

I'm just a lowly writer

Nothing can make me feel better

Then a story I have written down.

I don't require any one to know them

Don't need a crowd.

But nothing sounds better

than a pen being laid down.

I'll write you a country song

Or a novel not so long.

It's the real and cold Blues

The Lonsome Claymore Blues.

You'll feel that it's true

"The Claymore Blues."

As a train on his way back

I'll lay down these words like a track.

And you can come aboard with me.

You can tell my stories in a song

Or read them like a hard memory.

Sing my words and speak my facts,

Take in my heart and listen to me.

I'll write you a country song

Or a novel not so long.

It's the real and cold Blues

The Lonsome Claymore Blues.

You'll feel that it's true

"The Claymore Blues."

I'll write you a country song

Or a novel not so long.

It's the real and cold Blues

The Lonsome Claymore Blues.

You'll feel that it's true

"The Claymore Blues."
