All Gone

By Dany Hearn

Muddy Waters – Memphis Slim
Big Bill Broonzy – Lightnin’ Hopkins
All gone – all gone – all gone

John Lee Hooker – Ma Rainey
Sonny Terry – Brownie Mc Ghee
All gone – all gone – all gone

Now the devil’s in control here – got the people in a spin
So that folks can’t seem to tell what’s right ‘n’ wrong
But if you’re really listening – you can catch him at his sin
For they faced the devil down in every song

Robert Johnson – Jimmy Reed
Sonny Boy Williamson – Sleepy John Estes
All gone – all gone – all gone

Jesse Fuller – Blind Willie McTell
Mississipi – Fred McDowell
All gone – all gone – all gone

If you’ standing at the crossroads – and a stranger stops to ask
“Do you know, my friend, the way to Memphis?”
Take care to be polite – for the stranger, he just might
Be the ghost of Howling Wolf – or even Elvis

Muddy Waters – Memphis Slim
Big Bill Broonzy – Lightnin’ Hopkins
All gone – all gone – all gone
All gone – all gone – all gone
