Dr Hoos

Delta Blues. Original blues with a bit of Kiwi thrown in

Dr Hoos Blues Band was formed as an excuse for some mates to jam. After a lot of jamming with various musos the line up got solid. We did a gig at a surf club and that was that. We wanted to play even more. A gig here and a gig there got us out there and we lasted three years before events changed and the band sadly, folded up. There is another band in the pipeline with a similar Delta blues style on the way. And then some.

Story behind the song

This came from experience. A long hard fought battle that I didn't win.

Lyrics

I’m fighting a loosing battle with my woman and her friend
It’s a cryin shame I’m loosing on her friend she does depend
I been tryin on this battle for such a long long time
The end isn’t comin ‘cause her friend isn’t mine.

Her friend isn’t evil but her friend does deceive
I been tryin to persuade her tryin to make her believe
I been tryin on this battle for such a long long time
The end isn’t comin ‘cause her friend isn’t mine.


Any help isn’t wanted any help isn’t asked
Never looks to the future only lives in the past
I been tryin on this battle and I’m wasting my time
Tryin to help with her future better look after mine

Defeat is admitted defeat is inclined
I fought the loosing battle but I’m still strong in mind
I been tryin on this battle for such a long long time
And the end it is comin "cause her friend isn't mine.
