My Grass is Blue Lyrics

My grass is blue

My grass is blue

There's a lot of people talkin' about how Bill Monroe did this and that

If you don't do it like he did, it ain't bluegrass

If you don't play guitar like Tony, if you don't sing like Del McCoury

If you don't do it like they did, it ain't bluegrass

My grass is blue

My grass is blue

Well, you can call it new grass, jamb grass, slacker grass

You can call it anything you want to

My grass is blue

Just can't have no percussion, no washboard, spoons, or drums a-thumpin'

You see, them's the rules, or it ain't bluegrass

Your banjo better roll like Scruggs

God forbid, someone plays the jugs

If you don't do it like they did, it ain't bluegrass

My grass is blue

My grass is blue

Well, you can call it new grass, jamb grass, slacker grass

You can call it anything you want to

My grass is blue

If it's got swing like gypsy jazz

If you don't play it lightning fast

If you don't do it like they did, it ain't bluegrass

Better be high and lonesome as a Georgia pine

Harmonicas are borderline

If it don't sound like the past, it ain't bluegrass

My grass is blue

My grass is blue

Well, you can call it new grass, jamb grass, slacker grass

Roll-it-up-and-smoke-it grass

Pick it fast and kiss my

You can call it anything you want to

My grass is blue
