Clippers at First Light – Texas Shuffle Blues | Chicago Blues Radio

At first light, an old barber opens his shop and finds confidence in the work his hands still know. Clippers at First Light is an original single from Chicago Blues Radio, designed as a Texas electric shuffle with a low baritone, swinging electric guitar, walking bass and a restrained band. Original lyrics and song concept created for this single. Music generated with Suno v6 Pro using the official normal-download WAV. Original written lyrics (the performance and subtitles may differ): [Verse 1] I raise the narrow shutter, let the morning glow The striped pole turns above the pavement down below I oil the little clippers, set them by the chair And fold each fresh white towel with its corners square [Chorus] Clippers at first light, hear that silver motor hum My hands are steady, ready when you come Fresh towels, clean combs, sunlight through the door This old chair has room for one day more [Verse 2] I brush last week's fine silver from the window ledge And hone the waiting razor to a singing edge My first young customer brings doubts behind his grin I swing the chair around and welcome daylight in [Chorus] Clippers at first light, hear that silver motor hum My hands are steady, ready when you come Fresh towels, clean combs, sunlight through the door This old chair has room for one day more [Bridge] These knees take longer now to cross the floor But these two hands remember what they're working for I wash the glass; the morning shines anew Each careful stroke gives somebody a clearer view [Final Chorus] Clippers at first light, hear that silver motor hum My hands are steady, ready when you come Fresh towels, clean combs, sunlight through the door This old chair has room for one day more #TexasBlues #ShuffleBlues #ChicagoBluesRadio
