Blues is Dead

from Umbrella Fitz & Gerald by Hemlock Smith

about

an important tune as it's probably our only "hit single". Based upon the happy times following the birth of my son, it's our most danceable track, to be sure.

lyrics

Blues is Dead

Blues is Dead
At 3 o’clock in the mornin’
Blues is Dead
It’s collar full of blood
Blues is Dead
He be moaning an’ scorning
Blues is Dead
Never thought it could

Blues is Dead
Somewhere in Wisconsin
Blues is Dead
El Diablo by his side
Blues is Dead
Who be mourning and scorning?
Blues is Dead
Took the Devil for a ride

CH
He Be Battered and defeated – feathered and tarred
You Bid sadness farewell and healed all of my scars
Baby Boy Oh Boy –
You fill my heart with joy (repeat)

Blues is Dead
In the cold cold winter
Blues is Dead
Took no breath but let one out
Blues is Dead
From his coffin – grabbed a splinter
Blues is Dead
Saw him cruising on a cloud –

CH
He Be Battered and defeated – feathered and tarred
You Bid sadness farewell and healed all of my scars
Baby Boy Oh Boy –
You fill my heart with joy (repeat)

Blues is dead
He might come back another day –
But Hey – You’ll be a man by then –
We’ll scare Sir Blues away –
Baby Boy Oh Boy –
You fill my heart with joy

CH
He Be Battered and defeated – feathered and tarred
You Bid sadness farewell and healed all of my scars
Baby Boy Oh Boy –
You fill my heart with joy
You fill my heart with joy
You fill my heart with joy
