Sweet Gene Vincent Lyrics

Sweet Gene Vincent lyrics

blue gene baby



skinny white sailor, the chances were slender

the beauties were breif

shall I mourn you decline with some
thunderbird wine

and a black hankercheif?  

I miss your sad
Virginia whisper

I miss the voice that called my heart



sweet
gene vincent

young and old and gone

sweet gene vincent



who, who, who slapped john?



white face, black shirt

white
socks, black shoes

black hair, white strat

bled white, died black



sweet gene vincent

let the blue roll tonight

at the sock
hop ball in the union hall

where the bop is there delight



here come duck-tailed Danny dragging Uncanny Annie

she's tehone with
the flying feet

you can break the peace daddy sickle grease

the
beat is reet complete

and you jump back honey in the dungerees

tight sweater and a ponny tail

will you guess her age when she comes
back stage?

the hoodlems bite thier nails



black gloves,
white frost  

black crepe, white lead  

white sheet, black knight 


jet black, dead white  



sweet gene vincent

there's
one in every town

and the devil drives 'till the hurse arrives

and
you lay that pistol down



sweet gene vincent

there's nowhere
left to hide

with lazy skin and ash-tray eyes

a perforated pride



so farewell mademoiselle, knicker-bocker hotel

farewell to money
owed

but when your leg still hurts and you need more shirts

you got
to get back on the road
