Artwork: S Bess (Watercolor, pencil, and ink on paper) Bad Liquor Blues Listen here people, listen to what I have to say (2x) If you drink bad whiskey, it will do you this a-way Make you lose your money, make you lose your best friend (2x) And when you get sober, swear you'll never get drunk again... As sung by: Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell My inspiration for this piece came from a photograph I recently shared with you of my grandfather. Well, I'm watching the democratic debates so I must go. Take care, my friends. Peace~
