Port City Blues
I pulled my shrimp boat up onto the beach and started singing port city blues.
New lyrics from the morning drive yesterday - Port City Blues. Nothing directly autobiographical, but the plight of Texas shrimpers has been the subject of several news stories I’ve run across the last few years. The tune I was getting in the truck wasn’t that bluesy and probably not that original - I need to play with it at the piano and try to fit it into a “real blues” chord progression.
