Six Strings Down

Alpine Valley in the middle of the night

Six strings down on the heaven-bound flight

He got a pick, a strap, a guitar on his back

Ain't gonna cut the angels no slack

Heaven done called another blues-stringer back home

See the voodoo chile, holding out his hand

"I've been waitin' on you, brother, welcome to the band

Good blues-stringin', heaven-fine singin'

Jesus, Mary and Joseph been listnin' to you playin'"

Heaven done called another blues-stringer back home

Lord, they called another blues-stringer back home

Lord, they called another blues-stringer back home

Albert Collins up there

Muddy and Lightnin' too

Albert King and Freddy playin' the blues

T-Bone Walker, Guitar Slim

Lil' Son Jackson, Frankie Lee Sims

Heaven done called another blues-stringer back home

Lord, they called another blues-stringer back home

Lord, they called another blues-stringer back home

Heaven done called another blues-stringer back home

Lord, they called another blues-stringer back home

Heaven done called another blues-stringer back home

They called another blues-stringer back home

Back home
