Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive - John Lee Hooker, Van Morrison

Jimmy McGregor, hey, Jimmy, come here!

Jimmy you son of a gun!

What 'cha been doin'?

How long has it been?

Hell, seven years if it’s been one

How’s the preacher?

How’s Don, did he go back to school?

(No kidding, I thought he was gay!)

Who me?

Oh, I’m great!

I’m a father you know

Yeah, two of 'em and one on the way

Oh, well, she couldn’t make it, she gets pretty tired

She started her last month today

I only came up for a couple of minutes

Believe me, I wish I could stay

Oh, and yeah while I think of it, do you remember

Not for myself, for a friend

A girl that I brought here, before I got married

A couple of times at the end

Whatshername?

She hardly knew me;

Now her name means something to me

I wonder if she ever got over me?

Anyway I should be flattered

For yesterday at least I mattered

Where did it go?

Jimmy I tell you we’re two lucky guys

You’ve got everything that you’ve planned

And all things considered I’ve done fairly well

I mean God’s honest truth, man

I love Ruth and Whatshername?

I thought I knew her, Whatshername?

What happened to her

I don’t know why I’ll never forget

Whatshername?
