20240713 mean ol harp live iris3 

Jake Stockl passed away last week. Jake was a great man who was also a great musician and would often sit in with various bands to play harmonica. He used to sit in with my trio and I was inspired by him to write this song.
Chris Saponara on bass
Matt telliho: guitar and vocal
Steve Beal: guitar and harp
Lyrics:
Mean ole harp
Take my blues away
Please be my angel
To help me find my way
Deliver me
To a brand new day
Now Sonny boy
Go into town
Fetch brother Jake
And bring him back on down
His mean ole harp
Will turn my life around
(Chorus)
Times been good
But now times are bad
I can't remember
When I was glad
I need some help
To get back what I had
(Chorus)
The boss man’s hard
So at night I dream
Fly me away
From this awful scene
I need a savior
Who’s just as mean
Mean ole harp
Take my blues away
Please be my angel
To help me find my way
Deliver me
To a brand new day
