Bulldog Blues

(Blues in A minor)

(Verse 1)

I’m a man with a burden, carried it far too long,
Since my childhood days, been singing the same old song.
People’s cruel words, they cut me to the bone,
Called me Bulldog, left me feeling so alone.

(Chorus)
Oh, I’m crying out in pain, but no one seems to hear,
What can a little boy do but secretely drown deep in tears.
I’m haunted by memories of the past,
In this bluesy delta, feeling lost at sea, so vast.

(Verse 2)
Their laughter echoed in my ears, like a bitter refrain,
Every time they mocked me, I felt the sting of shame.
I tried hard, butI couldn’t shake their scorn,
Left me feeling broken, like a rose with thorns.

(Chorus)
Oh, I’m crying out in pain, but no one seems to hear,
What can a little boy do but secretly drown deep in tears.
I’m haunted by memories of the past,
In this bluesy delta, feeling lost at sea, so vast.

(Verse 3)
Now I’m older and wiser, but the scars remain,
Still haunted by the echoes of their cruel disdain.
But I won’t let them dictate what I am.
I’ll rise above the pain, like a lone bluesman in a jam.

(Outro)
But I’ll keep on singing, letting my soul unfold,
In this beautiful delta, where the blues take hold.
Finding solace in my music, letting my spirit soar,
My guitar will end all these, and I’ll find freedom ever more.
