My Queen (dark country, blues) Lyrics

From Sallouk's doors (Sallouk's door)

Her voice did soar (did soar)

It drew me in (drew me in)

And I craved much more (craved much more)

Well now, this here Sallouk's burnin' bright

But darlin', your voice steals the night

How 'bout we sit and share some talk?

Got a notion that'll set folks gawk

Name's Joe an' them bugs you've heard tell

Play tunes that'd make ol' Satan yell

You reckon you're that famous Joe?

With critters singin' down below?

Sounds like a tale a drunkard'd spin

Yet here you are, all smug and grinnin'

If them whispers 'round here ain't lies

Maybe I'll hear what you advise

Got a stage where dreams run high

If your word don't turn to a lie

Together we'd own this Western trail

If your name holds weight like mail

When fate deals her cards tonight

Some chances burn too bright to fight

They say your bugs stir up a crowd

Make the meek stomp fierce an' loud

A queer thing, this tale you weave

Yet somethin' 'bout you, I believe

If you're the Joe folks chatter 'bout

Maybe there's gold beneath this doubt

From the Rio to ol' Boston town

Ain't no act can take us down

Them bugs of mine they pluck it right

Make a thousand dance each night

An' sugar, with that fire you've got

We'd make the world burn twice as hot

Let me show you what we're worth

A chance to leave this dusty earth

More coin than dreams could ever buy

If your critters don't up an' lie

When fate deals her cards tonight

Some chances burn too bright to fight

The way you hold this Sallouk room

Like a queen, commandin' doom

The Queen, you say? Ain't that grande

That's a name that carries command
