Peggy Sang The Blues

Intro Peggy came to me in my sleep In the middle of the night on a Friday night last week She whispered hush child but don't be scared I've got a few words of wisdom that I've come back to share and she said, doesn't matter where you come from It matters where you go no one gets remembered, for the things they didn't do I said Peggy won't you stay here for a while We can drink whiskey, we can play cards and we can get wild She said we'll play poker and we'll play for keeps I only played angels lately and they never let me cheat doesn't matter where you come from It matters where you go no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do You could say I had a good time, you could say I had class You could say that I was born beneath this ceiling made of glass But I always kept an open house and always did right by my friends When I get to Saint Peter's gate I'll tell the keeper I'm not the one who needs to make amends. Cause better times are coming, better times ahead No one gets remembered, my deathless child, and soon you will be dead. And Peggy said. doesn't matter where you come from It matters where you go no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well Peggy sang the blues, peggy sang the blues
