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 and don't be scared"
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 awhile?"
We can drink whiskey
We can play cards
And we can get wild
She said: "We can play poker and we'll play for keeps"
"I only play 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 start
And you could say I had class
And you could say I was born beneath…
