Does A Baker Love His Bread - Original Blues By Randy Bowles

Do I love you Honey? Does a baker love his bread? -- You know I do. -- Here is my take on the down-tempo, traditional 3-chord Mississippi Delta Blues. This one is about a man who totally loves his female counterpart. He is inviting her out for a night of blues music, dancing and romance. I wrote it in October 2024, to show that the blues can be tender. I've had the chance to play it for a few audiences lately, and they seem to like it... Dancing actually broke out at art galleries where I played it! Lyrics are in the pinned comment.

Does A Baker Love His Bread - By Randy Bowles
Slip on your favorite frock my honey,
Why don’t we go out tonight.
Slip on your favorite frock my honey,
Why don’t we go out tonight.
We’ll dine and dance and romance.
When we get home I’ll treat you right.
Apply your red lipstick my honey,
The one that drives me wild.
Apply your red lipstick my honey,
The one that drives me wild.
Won’t you whisper in my ear,
That I’m your baby child.
Cause there is nothing better,
Than going out with you.
There is nothing any better,
Than going out with you.
Let’s hit that crazy nightspot,
Where they play your favorite blues.
Do I love you honey?
Does a baker love his bread?
Do I love love love you honey?
Does a baker love his bread?
Honey you’re my everything.
Believe every word I’ve said.
A couple drinks a dance or two,
A little tete-a-tete.
A couple drinks a dance or two,
A little tete-a-tete.
And when we get home baby,
I said I’m going to make your day.
Hold me close and dance,
While the band plays your favorite blues.
Now won’t you hold me close and dance,
While the band they blow that blues.
When we get home you’ll get an offer,
One that you can not refuse.
Do I love you honey?
Does a painter love her art?
Do I love you honey?
Does a painter love her art?
Honey you’re my everything.
You are my beating heart.

Wow, thank you! I wrote another verse, which I do live, which says, Or we can just stay home and see what kind of mischief we can make...
