It’s been a while since we’ve featured a Blues Lyrics of the Week but we think you’ll agree that this is a good one considering the date on the calendar. From the self-dubbed “UK’s most experienced emerging R&B blues band” The Welsh T Band, here’s some “April Fool Blues” for you off the band’s new album Where the Road Leads, released last week.
“I went to meet my baby the other night,
I gotta’ kinda’ feelin’ somethin’ ain’t right.
I went to the place where she said she’d be –
’twas with another man, she made a fool out of me!
I got those April fool blues
I got those April fool blues
I got those April fool blues
man, she made a fool outta’ me
Well my baby rang to say ‘let’s try again’,
she swore she’d stay away from those other men.
I said ‘Okay babe, we’ll give a whirl’ –
she broke my heart with another girl!
I got those April fool blues
I got those April fool blues
I got those April fool blues
man, she made a fool outta’ me!”
– “April Fool Blues”, The Welsh T Band
