The Butterfly Blues is when you've got just a TOUCH of the blues
No Ma Rainey or Muddy
Little weights clipping your wings just a TOUCH
No Etta or Billie Holiday
Only harmless troublings lighting about
Perhaps your favorite magazine stopped publishing
or your picnic got rained on
or your best burger joint is closed for renovations...
That's when you've got The Butterfly Blues
NOTE: A fuller version of this ditty is available no strings attached to singers and rappers who might want to use it.
