Another original Blues that reflects the environment we all find ourselves in at the moment. For me, it means more lay-ins in the morning. And so a song forms in my mind....

lyrics

Breakfast Blues (Ian Macintosh 2020)

I woke up this mornin’ an’ my mouth was dry
Ma stomach was empty, you know the reason why!
The rooster was crowin', an' I’m ready to rise
‘Cos I’ll be waitin’…. with my dawn surprise.

Got them breakfast blues, I need somethin’ hot,
Got ‘em breakfast blues so bad I could cry
Make me sizzle bring something from ya’ pot
That’s what a man needs, to get him by

Well, you better bring coffee, in ma’ favourite cup
I want hot coffee there waiting when I wakes up.
Don’t want no milk babe, no jungle juice
If you can’t bring me coffee, then woman, what’s the use?

I want two big eggs, shakin’ on a plate
Two big round chicken eggs, ready for dippin’ when I wake.
I like my eggs greasy, yeh, an’ sunny side up
Alongside my coffee in mah, uh, favourite cup!

Gimme two fresh bread buns, drippin’ with butter
When they touch mah tongue babe, gonna make me stutter.
Them buns taste so good, right under them eggs
An when I dip that yoke baby a shiver runs down mah leg
