SIDE ONE (Track 02) - written by Laura Nyro

Here is the debut album of Laura Nyro, "More Than a New Discovery".

Originally issued by Verve Folkways in February 1967.

LYRICS:

Billy's blue

With his head hangin' to

His shoes.

Right the wrong

Or play a song

To ease Billy's blues.

Billy's down.

He was born, he was bound

To lose.

Somebody right the wrong

Or play a song

To ease Billy's blues.

Some folks have it good,

And some folks have it no good;

But Billy's got it bad.

He's so endlessly sad.

Billy's blues

With his head hangin' to

His shoes.

Somebody, please right the wrong

Or play a song

To ease Billy's blues.

To ease Billy's blues.

I was about 6 years old the first time I heard Laura Nyro. My older sister had this album. I remember her playing this track over and over and over. Even at 6 I could hear the pain in Laura's voice. That beautiful voice! I became a fan as I listened thru my sisters closed door. Over the years I bought every album, then every tape, then every CD . . . *Billy's Blues* is still my favorite.
