My name is Ward and I am the sole musician in "The Speak Easy House Band". These songs are a mix of whatever mood I am in when feeling creative. There is everything from distorted heavy rock, to electric blues, to acoustic folk type melodies. Some of it is instrumental, and some has lyrics. I have attempted to arrange the song list in an order from top to bottom as follows: heavy rock, to acoustic and blues.

Story behind the song
There are alot of what I call bums out there who get with a woman and exploit all they can out of her. The lyrics start out with a guy wanting to "sing a song" which equates to the pickup line when they first meet, then to " let me cry the blues" trying to get on her sympathetic side, then right out with "baby pay my bills" then when she gets upset he'll come out with "baby sing me a song" meaning now that she's upset he's willing to listen. It is a two way street though and women can be bums too.
Lyrics
Let me sing you a song, let me sing you a song it wouldn't take too long, let me sing you a song. Let me cry you the blues, let me cry you the blues you have nothing to loose let me cry you the blues. Baby pay my bills, baby pay my bills I'll trade ya for cheap thrills, baby pay my bills. Baby sing me a song, baby sing me a song it shouldn't take too long sing me a song. Cry me your blues, Cry me your blues.
