I got the Jelly Roll Blues, but I'm gonna dance the night away.
Got the Jelly Roll Blues, gonna dance the night away.
When tomorrow comes, I'm gonna Jelly Roll all the day.

Slow and Lazy

Ridin' down the river on a lazy afternoon
Ridin' down the river on a steamboat built
for two
Muddy River...
Carry me home with you.

I wanna swim with the fishes on the way
down to the deep blue sea
Sometimes I wishes I could fly like
the birdies in the trees
Muddy River...
Keep on rollin' and carryin' me.

I think I see something big and fat
I think I see a big 'ol channel cat
Don't get your pole, don't even get your line
He's too tough to chew, I couldn't eat'em
if I tried

Ridin' down the river underneath
the pale moonlight
Lookin' at all the stars in the velvet night
Muddy River knows...
Everything gonna be all right.
Muddy Rih-hih-ver knows...
Everything gonna be all right.

I'm thinking............

This is the eternal fire which will provide radiance and inspiration for everyone until further notice. Come and get warm.

Another Winter Ends

The birds are returning, the March winds are blowing in, and the winter is finally getting ready to leave the stage for the year. As rough as this one was in Colorado, it's still my favorite season.

The Best Intentions

You can say anything you want to me
I'm minding my business and I'm keeping it clean
I'm minding my q's and looking at my p's
You're secret is safe as it can be
I'm not talkin
I'm not talkin
I'm not talkin to anyone
But myself

Talk is cheap, I have heard
Got to be at least 10 billion words
Quit your babblin when you said enough
Open up, put your money down, and shut your mouth
I'm not talkin
I'm not talkin
I'm not talkin to anyone
But myself

I wrote this tune many years ago when I was sick of listening to everybody's crap. Obviously, I haven't heeded my words.
