Its D day, we've signed our love away

Yeah its D day baby, we've signed our love away

You've taken everything I own

Now I ain't got no, place too stay

ok, I think I see now.  It appears you are writing with a mixture of how the lines lay in the melody.  I can sing it now.

OK, I have no gift for music or melody, so if somebody wants to take a shot at this feel free, but here's my effort at this challenge:

 

Outlaw

(gm 2016)

 

I wanna be an outlaw, and ride across this land
Yeah I wanna be an outlaw, gonna ride across this land
A trusty steed between my thighs
One tough hombre of a man

 

A Stetson set upon my brow, a pistol in my hand
Big black Stetson on my head, Peacemaker in my hand
Lasso hangin' by my side
One proud and free young man

 

Lookin' for a barmaid, with her head all full of gold
Lookin' for a barmaid, with her heart all filled with gold
She'll be there while my money's spent
But she'll be gone when I get old

I can put together a blues tune to go with lyrics. I see a coupla lyrics posted here but I guess I am unsure how to proceed.

 

I can play 12-bar blues in my sleep but that doesn't mean I can take any lyric and make it work. John, do we just grab any lyric posted here and give it a go? I might be able to do something with one of these but I don't see very many posted. Please advise.

 

Thanks!

Well heres a different lyric but based on the same structure as Toms idea.

Very many doubts but I have given it a shot.

Cheers 

Les

 

I Got It Bad
 
I got it bad, an I'm gonna take a fall
Ooh yeah I got it bad, an I'm gonna take a fall
I know she'll strip me to the bone, nail my skin to her wall
 
But I got a craving, I gotta craving for her flesh
Ooh yeah I got a craving, got a craving for her flesh
I know she'll chew me up, toss me right out in the trash
 
I'm gonna leave town, take the midnight train
Ooh yeah I'm gonna leave town, take the midnight train
I gotta get away from her, before she drives me insane

I don't suppose a lyric I already put up for critique is allowed?

Why do that Les, when what you are about to write is better than anything you've ever written?

 

Keep on writing, I can't wait to see what's next.

Little known fact James....I hold the dubious honor of knowing 3 different men who married the same woman a total of 3 times.

One of those men happened to be my grandfather. :rolleyes: What can I tell ya'

Feel better now? LOL

 

Tom

lol..as a matter of fact, my mom and dad did it 3 times.

one thing about the blues, it sure makes you feel good sometimes.  Twice is some cases, three times in others.
