Portrait of a Man, Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, “I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man Who has taken all the heart aches, And all the pain he can stand. I am using all the colors of blue, I have here on my stand. I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man. I can tell he is dying. I see death in his eyes. Oh yes I know, I know when he's crying 'Tis my tears, my tears that he cries. I am so tired of how he feels inside, I mix the paint with my hand. I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man. As I paint a wrinkled brow and hair that is turning grey, Oh tell me how, how can I paint a smile And eyes that keep turning away? I am using all the colors of blue I have here on my stand. I am painting in oil, a portrait and I'm the man. A portrait and I am the man.“
