Bluebird — Photo-artistry by kenne

He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder
Well, it might have been a bluebird, I don’t know
But he’d get stone drunk and talk about Alaska
The salmon boats and 45 below

He said he got that blue wing up in Walla Walla
Where his cellmate there was a Little Willy John
And Willie, he was once a great blues singer
And Wing & Willie wrote him up a song

(They said)

“It’s dark in here, can’t see the light
But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes
And I fly away, beyond these walls
Up above the clouds, where the rain don’t fall
On a poor man’s dream”
