"Blues on the street No cover charge, it’s rough

"Blues on the street
No cover charge, it’s rough and its free
Blues on the street, down by the sea
by the Port Phillip bayou, the way it used to be
Cool Jam session in the old Prince bar
I can hear that good, good, rockin’ guitar
Blues on the street
In the good old key of E
On Fitzroy Street St Kilda the way it ought to be..." - with love from @andy.freeman.baylor
