Song: Blue Ink Artist: Laura Veirs Album: The Triumphs & Travails of Orphan Mae Track Number: 6 Lyrics: I’m falling off the bar stool mama in this old ghost town saloon Where sunlight moves like sadness across the room Oh my sweet mama if you could only see me Now drunk as a skunk falling out of this rundown lacy gown This blue ink this blue ink this blue ink Across the page i write to you I’m sitting in these thorny cowboy boots And scabby knees wondering why i left you mama Just to do as i please no hat has a brim Wide enough to block out the blazing sun I met the devil on the road but i had no legs to run This blue ink this blue ink this blue ink Across the page i write to you Silver ran off two towns ago i been walking alone I been walking slow my eyes are dry from the desert wind I know i ain’t coming home to you again I’ll take off into the deep blue sky When I’m dead and gone and the buzzards fly this blue ink across the page I write to you mama if you love me you’re the only one who do © 2001 Raven Marching Band Records
