Peggy Sang The Blues

Peggy came to me in my sleep

In the middle of the night,

On a friday night last week

she whispered "hush child now don't be scared"

I got me a few words of wisdom that I came back to share

and she said

It 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 whisky, we can play cards and we can get wild

She said we'll play poker and we'll play for keeps

I've only played angels lately and they never let me cheat

It 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

And you can say I had a good time

And you can say I had class

And you can say that I was born beneath

A ceiling made of glass

But I always kept an open house

And yeah I always did right by my friends

And when I got to St Peter's gate I told the people

I'm not the one who needs to make amends

'Cause better times are coming

Better times ahead

And no-one gets remembered, my deathless child

Don't waste too long in bed

And Peggy said

It doesn't matter where you come from,

It matters where you go

No-one gets remembered, in this listless loveless life

For the things they didn't do

(no no no no no)

Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off

while Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off

while Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off

while Peggy sang the blues,

Peggy sang the blues
