I was ten years old when Jimi Hendrix died
Way too young to know that I should've cried
But a dark cloud covered up the summer sky
Call that voodoo child homeAnd the blues keeps movin' on
Lord. it's ten years goneI was twenty years old when John Lennon died
Way too stoned to know that I should've cried
A cold December on the lonely side
Just draggin', got stupifiedAnd the blues keeps movin' on
Lord, it's ten years gone
Gone
I was thirty years old when Stevie Ray died
Stone cold, sober and I stood there and cried
When the mountain, a steel death trap
Lord, they came and took Stevie Ray backAnd the blues keeps movin' on
Lord, it's ten years goneI was forty years old when Willie Dixon died
Little red rooster done said goodbye
A mountain of blues and the big hollow net
That Willie done gone to the promised landAnd the blues keeps movin' on
Lord, it's ten years gone
GoneNow I'm fifty years old, I'm alive and well
My soul's in heaven while my body's in hell
Twenty years left, give or take a few
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
Yeah what I'm gonna do
And the blues is a-movin' on
Another ten years gone
The blues is movin' on
Another ten years gone
The blues is movin' on
Another ten years gone
Ten years gone
Ten years goneAnother, another, another
Just another, just another, just another, just another
Just another ten years gone
Just another ten years gone
Just another ten years gone
Just another ten years gone
Just another ten years gone
Just another ten years gone
Just another ten years gone
(Just another ten years gone)
