“Papa Gene’s Blues”

Lyrics Permalink
No heartaches felt, no longer lonely
Nights of waiting finally won me
Happiness that’s all rolled up in you
And now with you as inspiration
I look toward a destination
Sunny, bright that once before was blue
I have no more than I did before
But now I’ve got all that I need
For I love you, and I know you love me
So take my hand, I’ll start my journey
Free from all the helpless worry
That besets a man when he’s alone
For strength is mine when we’re together
And with you, I know I’ll never
Have to pass the high road for the low
I have no more than I did before
But now I’ve got all that I need
For I love you, and I know you love me
[break]
“Play, Magic Fingers!”
“Yee haw!”
“Oh, pick it, Luther!”
I have no more than I did before
But now I’ve got all that I need
For I love you, and I know you love me
Yes, I love you, and I know you love me
