Furry Sings The Blues Lyrics

Lyric discussion by PhilMarsh 

Cover art for Furry Sings The Blues lyrics by Joni Mitchell

I love this song; it so neatly parallels the rundown state of the old parts of Memphis with the fate of so many of its early performers.

The pictures created by lines like; Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps In the grey decay

are so true. I remember the same in my own city when I was a child. Joni has a gift for capturing images like this.
