The Folk Singer (Ode To Bud) Lyrics
- Genre:Country
- Year of Release:2023
Lyrics
He likes his folk music, just as it comes
From Woody Guthrie to Mumford and Sons
If he forgets a line, he just hums
He's a folk singer
He plays Friday nights in a run down old bar
He'd never be seen dead with an electric guitar
He walks to the gig, he ain't got a car
He's a folk singer
He loves all folk music, modern or traditional
His passion for the genre is fully unconditional
He can only be seen in denim shirts and pants
He's been waiting 30 years for his big chance
He turns his nose up at techno and dance
He's a folk singer
He only wants to gig for minimal pay
He only liked Dylan pre "Lay Lady Lay"
Wouldn't give TV Music contests the time of day
He's a folk singer
He loves anything
From across the acoustic folk spectrum
All he needs to perform is his guitar
And a battered old plectrum
He only needs one hand to carry his gear
If you mentioned double tracking
He would just sneer
If he got successful, he would end his career
He's a folk singer
He loves all folk music, modern or traditional
His passion for the genre is fully unconditional
He's a folk singer
