Sorrowful Lament

This week the theme is to find Blues music.

After searching and listening to many songs on many Blues lists I found one I know and that I really like!

“Pride And Joy” is another modern blues song, falling more specifically under the umbrella of electric blues or blues rock. Stevie Ray Vaughan recorded the track in 1983, releasing it as his first single; it would go on to be considered one of the best songs of his career. It is considered to be a blues track because of its use of a 12-bar blues arrangement; it also fuses elements of other genres, a hallmark of contemporary blues. The song also deviates from classic blues in its subject matter, which focuses on the singer’s love for his partner.

Well, you’ve heard about love givin’ sight to the blind
My baby lovin’ cause the sun to shine

She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I’m her little lover boy

Yeah, I love my baby
Heart and soul
Love like ours won’t never grow old

She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I’m her little lover boy

Yeah, I love my Lenee
She long and lean
You mess with her
You’ll see a man get mean

She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I’m her little lover boy

Well, I love my baby
Like the finest wine
Stick with her until the end of time

She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I’m her little lover boy

Yeah, I love my baby
Heart and soul
Love like ours won’t never grow old

She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I’m her little lover boy
