Last Night Blues
Lyrics:
Eeee! Heee!
Ahh! Hooo, yeah!
Auhh !
Eeee! Heee!
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Eleanor come and wipe my brow
Only you can soothe my fevered brow
Your tender touch is all that comforts me now
Auhh !
Eeee! Heee!
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Ooo! Hoo!
Auhh !
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Eleanor the devil's near to my door
Soon he will be comin' through that door
And when he gone I fear I'll be no more
Auhh !
Eeee! Heee!
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Ooo! Hoo!
Auhh !
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Eleanor that devil tried to steal you away
He tried in vain to take your heart away
But his gold and silver could not make you betray
Auhh !
Eeee! Heee!
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Ooo! Hoo!
Auhh !
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Eleanor remember what I said
Don't forget these last words that I said
He can't have you so he aim to have my soul instead
Auhh !
Eeee! Heee!
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Ooo! Hoo!
Auhh !
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
I will not strike back in anger
I will turn the other cheek
And if I die before I wake
Let the earth inherit the meager
Yes let the earth inherit the meek
Auhh !
Eeee! Heee!
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Ooo! Hoo!
Auhh !
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
If this be the last leg of my race
If this night I finish out my race
Eleanor let me spend it lookin' in your face
Auhh !
Eeee! Heee!
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Ooo! Hoo!
Auhh !
Ooo! Hooo, yeah!
Oh Eleanor tell them what;s mine is mine
Don't let that devil take what's rightly mine
And I will wait for you at the end of time

Song Meaning:
Jon Cooksey: I put a lot into this song, actually. The original lyrics tell the story of
a man who's waiting for an evil man to come kill him. I didn't want to make
the singer weak, so I made him religious -- he's going to turn the other
cheek, even if that means he has to die illustrating his principles. There
are lyric references to "Look Back In Anger", as well as the night-time
prayer -- If I die before I wake. And of course his reference to being
buried in his grave, a spin on the saying of Jesus: "Let the earth inherit
the meek."
If you compare these "original" lyrics to the lyrics written by the man who
killed him and stole his songs, you'll see that the killer (who isn't as
good a lyricist) mocks all his religious sentiments, and makes the song
about wine, women and money.
