Heaven Done Called Another Blues Stringer Back Home

BB King (1925-2015)



Six Strings Down

Alpine Valley, in the middle of the night
Six Strings Down, on the heaven-bound flight
Got a pick, a strap, guitar on his back
Alpine Valley, in the middle of the night
Six Strings Down, on the heaven-bound flight
Got a pick, a strap, guitar on his back
Ain't gonna cut the angels no slack
Heaven done called another blues stringer back home

VERSE:
See the voodoo chile, holding out his hand
I've been waitin' on you brother
Welcome to the band
Good blues stringin', heaven-fine singin'
Jesus, Mary and Joseph been lis'nin' to you playin'
Heaven done called another blues stringer back home
Lord, they called another blues stringer back home

Albert Collins up there
Muddy an' Lightnin' too
Albert King and Freddy playin' the blues
T-Bone Walker, Guitar Slim
Little Son Jackson and Frankie Lee Sims
Heaven done called another blues stringer back home
Lord, they called another blues stringer back home
Lord, they called another blues stringer back home
They called another blues stringer back home

Heaven done called another blues stringer back home
Lord, they called another blues stringer back home
