lyrics

Death Blues
(Mark Dead Littler)

The cypress trees bared witness
In the crimson light
To the first murder
DEATH BLUES
DEATH BLUES
Legba taught three chords
To a young man who lost his wife
It went something like
DEATH BLUES
DEATH BLUES
In Golgotha you could hear’em scream
DEATH BLUES
In the fields they hollered in pain
DEATH BLUES
In prison they whistle the same old tune
DEATH BLUES
DEATH BLUES
Abraham sang it, and David too
Ruth and Hannah taught the little ones that first tune
The day will come where St-John’s visions will come true
The trumpets will sound
And what will we hear
DEATH BLUES
DEATH BLUES
Noah’s still waiting for another flood
And the kings hands are still sticky with all that blood
His kingdom is as rotten as the sea is blue
And wherever you’ll turn you’ll see death too
DEATH BLUES
DEATH BLUES

The Dead Brothers Switzerland

Is it Jazz?
Is it Blues?
Is it Avantgarde folk?
Or is it simply Rock ‘n’ Roll?
The answer is: YES!
