My Canoe- Chestnut circa 1976
Some people said worried blues ain’t tough
Some people said the worried blues ain’t tough
But if they don’t kill you they’ll handle you mighty rough

You’ll meet many just like me
upon life’s busy street
With shoulders stooped and heads bowed low
and eyes that stare in defeat
Poor souls that live within the past
where sorrow plays all parts
Where a living death is all that’s left
for men with broken hearts
You have no right to be the judge
to criticize and condemn
Just think but for the grace of God
it would be you instead of him
One careless step a thoughtless deed
and then the misery starts
And to those who weep
death comes cheap
these men with broken hearts
Oh so humble you should be
when they come passing by
For it’s written that the greatest men
never get too big to cry
Some lose faith in love and life
when sorrow shoots her darts
And with hope all gone
they walk alone
these men with broken hearts
You’ve never walked in that man’s shoes
or saw things through his eyes
Or stood and watched
with helpless hands
while the heart inside you dies
Some were paupers some were kings
and some were masters of the arts
But in their shame they’re all the same
these men with broken hearts
Life sometimes can be so cruel
that a heart will pray for death
God why must these living dead
know pain with every breath ?
So help your brother along the road
no matter where he starts
For the God that made you made them too
these men with broken hearts

What a beautiful canoe!
Just what I needed to make me feel better.
I really know how to “drive” a canoe and can’t wait to jump into it.
Thanks for this charming picture,

I love this photo of your canoe and I would like to know if I can use it as inspiration in a painting.
