lyrics

HUCK’S BLUES


You were a young man tending bar on the Square in town
Serving egg-burgers and Gerst beers to the country bumpkin crowd
Breaking up fights maybe even getting in one or two
At the Yellow Jacket Saloon

You married Miss Annie yall saved up and bought your own farm
From sharecroppin’ to weekend nights as the Shirt Factory guard
I’m sure six kids sometimes tested you
But they never mention Huck’s Blues

Chorus:
The only blues that followed you through life
Came after your spirit flew
I only hope you know the way we miss you
Even now it’s true

I was a little bitty runt when you took off
Playing horsey on your knees, feeding the pigs at your trough
The memories I have of you are precious and few
But I don’t remember Huck’s Blues

Chorus

Was a sad, sad day when you were called home
When people leave suddenly everybody’s so thrown
Yeah Grandpa I know you musta got down too
But I don’t remember Huck’s Blues

Chorus
