Houston Blues Friends in Memphis with Joy and Kenne (01/23/10)
Hard Daddy
I went to ma daddy, Says Daddy I have got the blues, Went to my daddy, Says Daddy I have got the blues, Ma daddy says, Honey, Can’t you bring no better news?
I cried on his shoulder but He turned his back on me. Cried on his shoulder but He turned his back on me. He said a woman’s cryin’s Never gonna bother me.
I wish I had wings to Fly like the eagle flies. Wish I had wings to Fly like the eagle flies. I’d fly on ma man an’ I’d scratch out both his eyes.
Ask me how does a man feel When he’s got the blues And I’d say Misused abused down-hearted and blue Know the reason I know this Is cause the blues is all I was left with

The Houston Blues Society annually selects local musicians to participate in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. We were there in support of our good friend, Sonny Boy Terry.
These 36-foot-tall concrete statues are the work of artist David Adickes. They are located in Houston’s East Downtown (EaDo) neighborhood, in the backyard of the 8th Wonder Brewery, near the PNC Soccer Stadium, home of the MLS Houston Dynamo.
