Lyrics

I just got into town and I was barely seventeen years old
It was in New York City and the east side winds blew cold
As I climbed up the stairs I heard the sound of a blues guitar
And Blind Gary played the blues for you
Blind Gary played the blues for me
Blind Gary played the blues for a song
As though it were the very last time
Tiny took the beer out and the music got to feeling fine
I picked up my banjo and I grabbed me a drink of wine
And the city seemed to melt into shapes of a blues guitar
And Blind Gary played the blues for me
Blind Gary played the blues for you
Blind Gary played the blues for a song
As though it were the very last time
Gary sang a sermon and Tiny turned around and smiled
I wasn't such a young thing but I never felt more like a child
And drifting through my dreams I hear the sound of a blues guitar
And Blind Gary played the blues for you
Blind Gary played the blues for me
Blind Gary played the blues for a song
As though it were the very first time
Blind Gary played the blues for you
Blind Gary played the blues for me
Blind Gary played the blues for a song
As though it were the very last time
