Peggy Sang The BluesPeggy came to me in my sleepIn 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 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 could say I had a good start And you could say I had class And you could say that I was born beneath A ceiling made of glass. But I always kept an open house And I always did right by my friends And when I got to St Peter's gate I told the keeper that 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 So don't rest 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 |
