Dave Stewart - The Blackbird Diaries

So Long Ago

Well, I remember Jessie Mae
And I remember how she used to wail
Back in Junior's yard
It was so, so long ago

Well, I remember Mississippi John Hurt
His finger picking nails
All covered in dirt down in Avalon
Well, it was so, so long ago

You all gave it to me
I could feel it in my bones
I just needed to see
Past the rolling stones

R. L. Burnside in the afternoon
Jumper on the line, well, he taught me that tune
With a little white lightning
That was so, so long ago

Now Junior Kimbrough's electric juke joint
Junior, I love you all night long
Now the juke joint's gone
'Cause that was so, so long ago

You all gave it to me
I could feel it in my bones
I just needed to see
Past the rolling stones

Well, I've got a mountain
So high to climb
Gotta use my rhythm
Gonna use my rhymes

But I should have stayed
On the road so long ago
But I should have stayed
On the road so long ago
So long ago, so long ago
