Name: BoJo's Blues
Duration: P00H02M39S
Description: I met BoJo when I lived in Hollywood. I was coming out of a store, and he was at the front door sitting on the ground. He had a very worn guitar, almost as worn as the lines on his face. He had a hat for tips, and I gave him some money. I wanted to know his story, so I sat down with him, we talked, and he played some songs.

lyrics

Bo Jo is a blues man
Makin’ that livin’ only way he can
He came from New York a long time ago
Livin’ the blues is all he knows
A few years back he played the local spots
Now his guitar is all he’s got

Bo Jo knows about payin’ dues
You can hear it in his blues
Playin’ to eat, andnot for fame
He might be down, but not out of the game
Livin’ his life from day to day
Now his guitar still has somethin’ to say

VERSE 3: G
Bo Jo’s blues speak the truth
Tellin’ the story of his lost youth
C
Playin’ on the road is where he’s at
G
Watchin’ people drop money in his hat
D
He sleeps in the mountains at night
G
Singin’ for the angels ‘bove the city lights

G
Bo Jo’s blues…
