[00:00.00]When Luther Played The Blues - Hans Theessink
[00:29.62]I'd been playing my guitar when I laid down last night
[00:35.05]Heard some heavenly blues saw you standing in the spotlight
[00:40.44]You smiled and I felt closeness reached out my hand but you were gone
[00:50.80]I felt sweet inspiration woke up and wrote you a song
[01:02.17]The blues was your church you invited us in
[01:07.43]Your blues a universal language no matter what colour your skin
[01:11.92]You taught us stand together people instead of being apart
[01:22.92]You preached healing blues power it came straight from the heart
[01:33.80]If there ever was a preacher preaching the blues
[01:39.41]If there ever was a teacher that could fill out his shoes
[01:44.17]There were no boundaries no limits
[01:48.00]When Luther played the blues
[02:27.03]People flocking to see you when you came to town
[02:32.73]Knew you would give it all knew you wouldn't let them down
[02:37.09]Sometimes you asked me to join you for a tune or a song
[02:47.73]Man how you lifted me up didn't want to come down
[02:58.63]If there ever was a preacher preaching the blues
[03:04.02]If there ever was a teacher that could fill out his shoes
[03:08.79]There were no boundaries no limits
[03:12.65]When Luther played the blues
[03:51.79]I was touring in Texas you were fixing to die
[03:57.59]I called you one last time with tears in my eyes
[04:01.73]You were too weak to speak death was taking it's toll
[04:12.98]The grave got your body but the blues got your soul
[04:23.13]If there ever was a preacher preaching the blues
[04:28.22]If there ever was a teacher that could fill out his shoes
[04:33.42]There were no boundaries no limits
