Frank Turner - Peggy Sang the Blues lyrics

rate me

Peggy came to me in my sleep

In the middle of the night on a Friday night last week

She whispered hush child and don’t be scared

I got me a few words of wisdom that I came back to share

And she said:

Chorus

It doesn’t matter where you come from

It matters where you go

No one gets remembered

For the things they didn't do

I said Peggy won't you stay here for a while?

We can drink whiskey, we can play cards and we can get wild

She said we'll play poker and we'll play for keeps

I only played angels lately and they never let me cheat

Chorus:

It doesn’t matter where you come from

It matters where you go

No one gets remembered

In this listless life

For the things they didn't do

You could say I had a good time, you could say I had class

You could say that I was born beneath this ceiling made of glass

But I always kept an open house

And yeah always did right by my friends

When it comes to Saint Peter's gate

I tell the people remember one who needs to make amends

Cause better times are coming

Better times ahead

No one gets remembered

My deathless child, don't waste too long in bed

And Peggy said:

Chorus

It doesn’t matter where you come from

It matters where you go

No one gets remembered

In this listless, loveless life

For the things they didn't do

Now, now, now, now, now.

And Peggy sang the blues

As I drifted off

Peggy sang the blues

As I drifted off

Well Peggy sang the blues

As I drifted off

Well Peggy sang the blues

Peggy sang the blues...
