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 the ceiling made of glass
 But I always kept an open house
 And yeah I always did right by my friends
 And when it comes to Saint Peter's gate
 I told the people remember one who needs to make amends
 'Cause better times are coming
 Better times ahead
 No one gets remembered
 My deathless child
 Don't waste 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
 Now, now, now, now, now
 Peggy sang the blues
 I've been drifting off
 Peggy sang the blues
 And I've drifted off
 Well Peggy sang the blues
 And I've drifted off
 Well Peggy sang the blues
 Peggy sang the blues
