Blues Wisdom and BBQ.........

[fatak]

Forget about sitting in Zen temples.........fasting.......hours of chanting......

You can get the truth and nothing but the truth...from Mississippi Blind Joe Melon........in his classic Blues number.....

"Walk a mile in my Shoes"

A great tale of people's lack of compassion.........or inability to see other people's situation.........

Isn't that what the great religions are supposed to teach?

Compassion..........towards others....

I think old Joe and his Blues guitar, plate of BBQ can tell it better.........

Cheers

Elvis also sang that song after Joe...

If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

Well, your whole world you see around you is just a reflection
And the law of common says you're gonna reap just what you sow

So unless you've lived a life of total perfection
Mm-mm, you'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw

Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another
'cause I don't think or wear my hair same way you do
Well, I may be common people but I'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a 'hurtin you,

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I

If I only had the wings of little angels don'tcha you know I'd fly
To the top of the mountain and then I'd cry?

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Better walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes,

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

Cool one Blu...........

Like most "white" showmen.....they got most of their stuff from the gospel side of the tracks in Memphis,Tenn.......

This a totally Bible inspired song.......like a Blues hadith........

Great song..thanks

If I could be you, if you could be me
For just one hour, if we could find a way
To get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead your own ego I believe you'd be
surprised to see
That you've been blind
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Then walk a mile in my shoes

let's call it philosophy of simplicity or live and let live and is included in any religion but is not enough mr.Elite member
