Lyric Fergus Sings The Blues

fergus sings the blues
       in bars of twelve of less
       i m a stranger to the land
       to this wilderness
       all things are possible but happen less and less
       this is my country these are my reasons
       
        cause i look in the mirror
       and it throws back the question
       and i whisper in words
       that beg an answer
       tell me can this white man sing the blues
       
       homesick james my biggest influence
       tell my why james and bobby purify
       i m lost in music sweet soul music
       this is my country these are my reasons
       
        cause i look in the mirror
       and it throws back the question
       and i whisper in words       
       that beg an answer
       tell me can this white man sing the blues
       
       from the north coast to the uplands
       stay on the left side of the white lines
       from the campsies over christmas
       
       i still dream of memphis
       
        cause i look in the mirror
       and it throws back the question
       and i whisper in words
       that beg an answer
       
       i got the blue blue world
       and i see the blue blue sky
       i got the blue blue ocean
       in my blue eye
       so tell me can this white man sing the blues
