Five long years
When you were mine
We played life like
Luther Tucker
Could play
The Chicago Blues
Come on baby
Don’t you want to go?
To that same old place
We called our show?
Our music was great
We lived, would not hesitate
You got what you wanted
That was my job
Did everything I could for you
I was the playboy
You were my muse
And baby I love you so
We got into war, but
Really minor skirmish
I was the war boy
In that mean old war
And you set me right
But I was never sore
So many adventures
Way beyond this world
Did we ever enjoy life?
Our laughs would tell you so
Mountains and badlands
Everywhere to go
Some thought it was a mean world
And kept right on drinking
We thought it was beautiful
Until finally person to person
You said it was time to go
Security you said, for certain
You got what you wanted
That is why I was there
We were on the upright
Another adventure
Will never compare
And baby I love you so
You had to leave me though
Life is just that way
Health and condition
Always come into play
We went work, work and work
Wanted play, play and play
One cannot get back what
Life has taken away and
Your body had broken down
And you had had your day
You were my muse and
How I love you so
You said we’ll keep in touch
What does that mean in Dutch?
I miss the Chicago Blues
Airplanes in the sky
Wandering everywhere, now
Just thinking of Eudora, and why
