Sweet Gene Vincent

blue gene baby



Skinny white sailor, the chances were slender,

The beauties were brief

Shall i mourn your decline with some thunderbird wine

And a black handkerchief?

I miss your sad virginia whisper,

I miss the voice that called my heart



Sweet gene vincent

Young and old and gone

Sweet gene vincent

Who, who, who slapped john?



White face, black shirt

White socks, black shoes

Black hair, white strat

Bled white, died black



Sweet gene vincent

Let the blue caps roll tonight

At the sock hop ball in the union hall

Where the bop is their delight



Here come duck-tail danny dragging uncanny annie,

She's the one with the flying feet

You can break the peace, daddy sickle grease

But the beat is reet complete

And the jump-back honey in the dungarees,

Tight sweater and a pony-tail

Will you guess her age when she comes back-stage,

The hoodlums bite their nails



Black gloves, white frost

Black cr
