R.J. Blues

Now listen close darlin’, can you hear that sound,
It\'s ol\' Robert\'s spirit still lingerin’ \'round,
For anytime you’re weary remember him true,
‘Cause everyone feels them old robert johnson blues.

So if you\'re lost in trouble or drowning deep in sin,
Just remember his music, let it pull you back in,
Dust off your old six-string as twilight breaks through,
Sing for dear Robert, the maestro of blue.

With a bottle in one hand and his heart on fire,
He sang about sorrow, man, he was born to inspire,
Traveling from town to town just for some dimes,
Yet each weary mile gave birth to rhymes.

If you’re downhearted or feelin\' kind of blue,
Just remember ol\' Robert and what music can do,
Raise your glass to this legend lost,
To freedom found and all that it cost.
