When Luther Played the Blues
Hans Theessink

I'd been playing my guitar - when I laid down last night

Heard some heavenly blues - saw you standing in the spotlight

You smiled and I felt closeness - reached out my hand, but you were gone

I felt sweet inspiration - woke up and wrote you a song

The blues was your church - you invited us in

Your blues - a universal language - no matter what colour your skin

You taught us: stand together people - instead of being apart

You preached healing blues power - It came straight from the heart

If there ever was a preacher - preaching the blues

If there ever was a teacher - that could fill out his shoes

There were no boundaries - no limits

When Luther played the blues

People flocking to see you - when you came to town

Knew you would give it all - knew you wouldn't let them down

Sometimes you asked me to join you - for a tune or a song

Man, how you lifted me up - didn't want to come down

If there ever was a preacher - preaching the blues...

I was touring in Texas - you were fixin' to die

I called you one last time - with tears in my eyes

You were too weak to speak - death was taking it's toll

The grave got your body - but the blues got your soul

If there ever was a preacher - preaching the blues...
