Does This Qualify (for the blues)

((Open G tuning D  G  D  G  B   D))

Does
this
qua'
li'
fy
for the
blues

that Delta tone and sound                  
from the bowels of burial grounds
toilin' in the sun numbin' the mind
enough to make the eyes go blind

Does
this
qua'
li'
fy
for the
blues

the demons are on parade
selling spiked lemonade
can't find any cover or shade
they're dealin' the ace of spades
(2x)

Does
this
qua'
li'
fy
for the
blues

mama's holding baby as she stoops to pluck
tryin' so hard not to get her stuck
temperatures risin' with no  cool breeze
tryin' so hard not to buckle at the knees

Does
this
qua'
li'
fy
for the
blues

when any soul is torn through
by hopes and dreams broken in two
at that moment of the tightening screws
that's when we all sing the blues
(2x)

Does
this
qua'
li'
fy
for the
blues
