Letra de Dubuque Blues
Do you remember Dubuque? Have you even heard of that? Half way between New York and California There is a highway in and back Plus an active railroad track And the west side of the city Sells no liquorNow I can recall the instances That hung it in my thoughts City parks, and night time girls With ancient limestone rocksWriting songs of rights and wrongs And buyin' penny loafer shoes Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got The Dubuque bluesDo you remember Anna Sue? Have you even heard of that? She went from Tennessee To MinnesotaWhen she was thirteen and I was ten And like a gentle Southern wind Well she made the moonlight shatter Through the maplesNow I can recall the summers That we spent among the trees When there were no Monday bummers To blow my life of easeWriting songs of rights and wrongs And buyin' penny loafer shoes Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got The Dubuque bluesNow the Dubuque blues ain't news To anybody Who knows sadness is the sweetest Of the pain Who can tell by just a glance That it's all over And who never cries Well almost never criesDo you remember nickel Cokes? Have you even heard of that? (I've heard of that) It's half between the forties and tomorrow Well I once considered it my home But now I know I'll always roam And if I pass through there again I will be luckyNow I can recall the instances That hung it in my thoughts City parks, oh the night time girls With ancient limestone rocksWriting songs of rights and wrongs And buyin' penny loafer shoes Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got The Dubuque bluesOhhhh... I got the Dubuque blues ev'ry night and day I got the Dubuque blues I know it's back to Iowaaayy
