Dubuque Blues
(专辑: The Association - 1969)
Do you remember Dubuque? Have you even heard of that? It's half 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 liquor And I
can recall the
instances that keep it in my thoughts City parks or nighttime girls or ancient limestone rocks Writing songs of rights and wrongs and buying penny loafer shoes Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got the
Dubuque blues Do you remember Anna Sue? Have you even heard of that? She went from Tennessee to Minnesota She was thirteen and I
was ten as the
gentle southern wind Would make the
moonlight shatter through the
maples And I
can recall the
summers that we spent among the
trees And there were no Monday bummers to blow my life of ease Writing songs of rights and wrongs and buying penny loafer shoes Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got the
Dubuque blues Now the
Dubuque blues ain't news to anybody Who knows sadness is the
sweetest of the
pain Who can tell with just a
look that it's all over Who never cries; well almost never cries Do you remember nickel Cokes? Have you even heard of that? They're half between the
forties and tomorrow I
once considered it my home; now I
know I'll always roam And if I
pass through there again I
will be lucky And I
can recall the
instances that hung it in my thoughts And I'm sure they're as important as the
feelings that they brought Writing songs of rights and wrongs and buying penny loafer shoes Woh-oh-oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got the
Dubuque blues...
