Ragdoll blues by A Beatband

Ragdoll blues

I got brand new shoes

I got hotel, hotel

But I ain't got no place to go



Inside, outside

Baby take me down

Spill my name on your sacres ground

Bring your friends

Bring 'em 'round

Make them hear how their life would sound

With a bad case of Ragdoll Blues



Pour me coffee

Baby it smells so fine

It brings me back from crying time

I got brandy

I got candy

I'm a superstar

Yeah I'm a stumbling right out of my whiskey bar

With my Ragdoll Blues



Hey, I know momma

I know I'm wrong

And life's not to waste

And death won't be long

But I got me this picture

Of the precious taboo

And they got me convicted Yeah I'm a crying my blues

I'm a not being sober

I'm a not being true

I got hearts

I got cards

I got Valentine's Charts

I got them banging from the street up the sidewalk

They are hanging from a tree on the junkyard

They are flying to the stars

Driving cool cars

They are stumbling right out of whiskey bars

with my Ragdoll Blues



It's not your perfume

It's not your style

It's the way you drive me out of my head

You drive me wild

By looking sober

By looking clean

I see you wiggling your ass down on the cool-dude-scene

Oh I got Ragdoll Blues

Just another bad case of Ragdoll Blues

Ragdoll Blues

A Beatband's "Ragdoll Blues" stands as a defining track within their discography, blending the group's signature lo-fi aesthetic with a melancholic, blues-inflected atmosphere. Emerging from the early days of the internet's DIY music scene, the recording captures the raw, unpolished charm characteristic of their work, often associated with the "A Beatband" era of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The song reflects a specific mood of urban isolation and introspection, utilizing simple instrumentation to evoke a sense of quiet contemplation. As part of their broader catalog of atmospheric tracks, "Ragdoll Blues" remains a notable example of how a small, collaborative project could produce a cohesive and emotionally resonant body of work that resonated with listeners seeking authentic, home-recorded sounds.
