yewnorker and bill white - There Ain't No Blues in Heaven

from The Rhizome by Bill White and Friends

/

lyrics

I can remember years ago
A preacher made me cry
He said heaven's such a happy place
The blues end when we die

If there ain't no blues in heaven
Then I dont wanna go
Close the gates for heavens sakes
Cuz this boy says hell no

So where is Hound Dog Taylor?
And where is BB King?
Bunk me with Muddy Waters
You can give us our own wing

What about Jimi Hendrix?
And where's Stevie Ray Vaughn?
Where's old Sophie Tucker?
I wanna hear her songs

Pass the word to Saint Peter
That blues is all I know
And if there aint no blues in heaven
Then I don't wanna go

There ain't no blues in heaven?
That means no Fred McDowell?
Ain't no Lightning Hopkins?
It sounds a bit like hell
