New Song to the tune of BOB DYLAN Song - BLIND WILLIE McTELL (1983).
New Song Title - ronnie THE ARTIST.
Verse 1, Seen the notice ronnie nailed to the doorpost
Saying millions in this land are condemned
All the way from Gretna Green
To John O Groats.
I traveled through East Glasgow
Where Legions of Smoker Martyrs have Fallen
And I know - no one can sing the blues
Like chain smoker ronnie THE ARTIST.
Verse 2, Well I heard that Glasgow Cowboy coughing
As he was taking down his pictures
The stars above and his old neighbour Reymond
Were his only audience,
Them charcoal nude woman drawings
Sure did look swell hanging on ronnie,s walls
But nobody can sing the blues
Like chain smoker ronnie THE ARTIST.
Verse 3, See them big Tobacco Harvesters working
See the turning of their mighty wheels
Smell them choking diesel fumes
We,ve come a long way since slavery ships
I can hear all them smokers coughing
Hear the undertakers bell,
Nobody can sing the blues
Like chain smoker ronnie THE ARTIST.
Verse 4, ronnie,s woman is down by the river
With some fine young handsome white man
He,s dressed up like a Tobacco Baron
With a full glass of Johnnie Walker Whisky in his hand,
There,s a chain smoker in everyone of us
I can hear all them smokers cough and wheeze
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like chain smoker ronnie THE ARTIST.
Verse 5, Well, GOD is in his Heaven
And HE wants us all to stop smoking
But money junkie greedy pig Tobacco Barons
Seem to be all that there is,
Now ronnie,s gazing out the window
Of his terminal cancer ward
And he knows no one can sing the blues
Like Lung Cancer Victim, chain smoker ronnie THE ARTIST.
