So Long Ago Songtext
von Dave Stewart

Well, I remember Jesse Mae
And I remember how she used to wail
Back in Junior′s yard
It was so, so long ago

Well, I remember Mississippi John Hurt
His finger-pickin' nails all covered in dirt
Down in Avalon
Well, it was so, so long ago

You all gave it to me
I could feel it in my bones
I just needed to see
Past the rolling stones


Holly Burnside in the afternoon
"Jump on a Line", well, he taught me that tune
With a little white lightning
That was so, so long ago

Now, Junior Kimbrough′s electric juke joint
Junior, I love you all night long
Now the juke joint's gone
'Cause that was so, so long ago

You all gave it to me
I could feel it in my bones
I just needed to see
Past the rolling stones

Well, I′ve got a mountain so hard to climb
Gotta use my rhythm, gotta use my rhymes
Well, I should have stayed on the road so long ago
Well, I should have stayed on the road so long ago
