homegrown music...all natural, no fillers, no artificial colors.
....so nice of y'all to drop by! I'm a little southern lady who grew up during the glorious sunshiny 70's in a small beach town in N. Florida. An awesome time to begin to figure life out...catching the tail-end of the "age of aquarius" and gettin' to enjoy the freedoms that bunch won for us before the angst of the 80's and 90's set in. Try bein' a teenager today!!! Ha! I learned to play guitar by picking one up and flippin' open a CSN&Y songbook to "Helpless". Well, nobody told me I was playin' the thing up-side-down! I'm a lefty, ya know...held it like it felt right to me. Still play that way to this day. Took up the banjo and the ukulele and turned them up-side-down too. I wrote my first song at the age of 45 and now I've got a whole batch of 'em. I don't ever set out to write any particular song...just get a phrase that sticks and pretty soon the rest of it comes. Really, I don't write them at all...God just down-loads 'em into my brain and I jot them down and then sing and play them. To Him be the honor and the glory! So there you have it...or at least this part of it. I'd talk yer ears nearly clean offa yer hear if you'd indulge me. Thanks again for stoppin' by...next time I'll make a cake and brew some coffee. yerz, Ellen https://ellenmoseley.bandcamp.com

Lyrics
Rabbit Blues I. out in the garden in the collard greens lookin? for my bunny her name is Queen and she loves them greens lookin? high, lookin? low, lookin? for that rabbit? where?d she go?where?d she go CHORUS oh, I got the rabbit blues oohh I got the bunny rabbit blues II. saw a hole dug unner tha fence and I ain?t seen my rabbit since she?s a big ol? bunny with floppy ears when I think of her gone, I break down in tears?.I break down in tears CHORUS BRIDGE: (of sorts) if ya never had a rabbit you won?t unnerstand what it?s like to lose your rabbity friend III. a season came, a season went I started sleepin? in the garden in an old pup tent?an old pup tent spring rolled around and to my surprise woke up to 28 pairs of rabbity ears and rabbity eyes CHORUS 2nd BRIDGE (of sorts): if ya never had a rabbit you won?t unnerstand when they git to making more, it can get outta hand CHORUS CODA (sorta): Queen came home but not alone she came with 27 more bunnies in tow oh I got the rabbit blues oohh I got the bunny rabbit blues
