Six Strings Down Lyrics

Jimmy Vaughan Six Strings Down

Alpine Valley,
In the middle of the night,
Six strings down,
On the heaven-bound flight,
Got a pick, a strap, guitar on his back,
Ain’t gonna cut the angels no slack,
Heaven done called,
Another blues-stringer back home,

See the voodoo chile,
Holding out his hand,
I’ve been waitin’ on you brother,
Welcome to the band,
Good blues-stringin’,
Heaven-fine singin’,
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Been lis’nin’ to your playin’,
Heaven done called,
Another blues-stringer back home,
Lord they called,
Another blues-stringer back home,

Albert Collins up there,
Muddy an’ Lightnin’ too,
Albert King and Freddy,
Playin’ the blues,
T-Bone Walker, Guitar Slim,
Little Son Jackson,
And Frankie Lee Sims,
Heaven done called,
Another blues-stringer back home

Lord they called,
Another blues-stringer back home,
Lord they called,
Another blues-stringer back home,
Heaven done called,
Another blues-stringer back home,
Lord they called,
Another blues-stringer back home,
Heaven done called,
Another blues-stringer back home,
They called,
Another blues-stringer back home,
Back home
