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 home
And the blues keeps movin' on
Lord. it's ten years gone
♪
I 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 stupified
And 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 back
And the blues keeps movin' on
Lord, it's ten years gone
♪
I 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 land
And the blues keeps movin' on
Lord, it's ten years gone
Gone

Now 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
Another, another, another
Just another, just another, just another, just another
