Goodbye Jimmy Reed

歌曲歌詞

I live on a street named after a Saint

Women in the churches wear powder and paint

Where the Jews and Catholics and the Muslim all pray

I can tell they're praying from a mile away

Goodbye Jimmy Reed Jimmy Reed indeed

Give me that old time religion it's just what I need

For thine is kingdom the power the glory

Go tell it down the mountain go tell the real story

Tell it in that straightforward puritanical tone

In the mystic hours when a person's alone

Goodbye Jimmy Reed godspeed

Thump on the bible proclaim a creed

You won't amount to much the people all said

'Cause I didn't play guitar behind my head

Never pandered never acted proud

Never took of my shoes throw 'em in the crowd

Goodbye Jimmy Reed goodbye goodnight

Put a jewel in your crown and put out the lights

They threw everything at me everything in the book

I had nothing to fight with but a butcher's hook

They had no pity they never lend a hand

I can't sing a song that I don't understand

Goodbye Jimmy Reed goodbye good luck

I can't play the record 'cause my needle got stuck
