Jim I really appreciate the complement. lol not sure I can pull the African bet myself though. nd no it is no trouble here are the lyrics and a brief explanation what they mean 

E7

and the toilet paper its all gone
A7                                          E7

B7
living on bens and rice
A7                            E7
but still got my whiskey on ice

got plenty of beer in the corner                                                                                        ( we all went out and stock piled alcohol)
got whiskey on the shelf
I'm sitting here all alone just a drinking it by myself
I know this much is clear
this corona aint no beer

the apocalypses it must be coming
the whole world has lost is mind
think ill sit back and watch it  I got a cold beer ill be just fine
no Walhalla in Douala                                                                                                       (  local saying for no problem. Douala is a city in camaroon)
buying bush meat with my last dollar                                                                             ( rats ,snakes, bats , lizards etc.)

had me a ticket
on an aero plane
but all those plans went down the drain
damn those frogs and krauts                                                                                (air France and Lufthansa but to be fair the government stop all flights. I like the way it sounded)
left me stranded here without a doubt

I cant go home
I cant g back
now I sitting in quarantine here in ABAYAK                                                             ( Abayak is the name of the compound where we live)
their taking me away for a coupe weeks                               ( any one with symptoms or coming into the country must quarantine for two weeks at government facility)
to a private room somewhere on black beach                        (black beach Is the name of prison here where people go and are never heard from again)
                                                                                                       so they would not  take us to black beach ( I dont think)but that is a running joke around here to be arrested and                                                                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                       end up there.     

stuck in darkest Africa at work my self, could be here awhile, did have the guys cracking up with a little quik tune I wrote yesterday . try to put it up  when I get a chance.
ya,ll stay safe out there     

has some catchy lines in it  , will give it a go when I get some time ,     

Graham I would love to hear your version of it, I have no problem making changes if it improves it. I actualy started off with different chords and rhythm but did not work for my voice so kind of ended up with what you see .
and yes you have the meaning 100% correct two older brothers and my parents and eventually saying good bye myself     

thinking there is a country song in her shadylips ….maybe.

any way most of my songs start out a single line that usualy comes to me out of the blue and then build around it. 9 times out of ten it gets changed around in the end. I allways have trouble with coming up with a chorus  for a song why  many of mine do not have one. and that brings me around to what I am working on now , a line hit me the other day made a few adjustments and now have  a great chorus I think. now  need to build around it which opposite of what I usualy do .     

like the way this flows cant wait to hear it     

happy new years to every one  hope its a good one     

I will post them when I get chance glad ya,ll like it     

I work with  a guy who bought one, expensive brand  dont recall the name now but the sound was nit all that great on it. my  $175 Alvarez beater sounded better. reminded me of my little travel martin guitar  made from laminates.  any way my opinion for the cost not worth it unless your leaving it out side over night or plan on playing it IN the pool.
