John Lee

Music and Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©2002 Moockshake Music

I miss you, Boom Boom John Lee
I miss you, Boom Boom John Lee
I miss you and your beat and the stomping of your feet
I miss you, Boom Boom John Lee

I miss you, Mississippi John Hurt
I miss you, Mississippi John Hurt
I missed you cast your spell when you played that Creolle Belle
I miss you, Mississippi John Hurt

I miss you, Ms. Elizabeth C.
I miss you, Ms. Elizabeth C.
Your Freight Train set me free, but I can’t shake sugaree
I miss you, Ms. Elizabeth C.

I miss you, Woody Wilson Guthrie
I miss you, Woody Wilson Guthrie
I miss the way you write and the way you fought your fight
I miss you, Woody

I never heard that Singing Brakeman sing
I never heard that Singing Brakeman sing
Now cowboy songs are dead, we got TNN instead
And I never heard that Singing Brakeman sing

History is slipping through the cracks
History is slipping through the cracks
The heroes of the past are dying way too fast
History is slipping through the cracks

Soon they will have all passed on
Soon they will have all passed on
Soon they will be gone and all we’ll have is tribute songs
Soon they will have all passed on

I miss you, Boom Boom John Lee
I miss you, Boom Boom John Lee
I miss you and your beat and the stomping of your feet
I miss you, Boom Boom John Lee
