Peggy Sang The Blues Lyrics - England Keep My Bones - Frank Turner

Peggy came to me in my sleep 

In the middle of the night 

On a Friday night last week 

She whispered: "Hush child and don't be scared" 

Got me a few words of wisdom 

That I came back to share 

And she said 

It doesn't matter where you come from 

It matters where you go 

No one gets remembered 

For the things they didn't do 

I said, "Peggy won't you stay here for awhile?" 

We can drink whiskey 

We can play cards 

And we can get wild 

She said: "We can play poker and we'll play for keeps" 

"I only play angels lately and they never let me cheat"

It doesn't matter where you come from 

It matters where you go 

No one gets remembered 

In this listless life 

For the things they didn't do 

And you can say I had a good start 

And you could say I had class 

And you could say I was born beneath the ceiling made of glass 

But I always kept an open house 

And yeah I always did right by my friends 

And when it comes to Saint Peter's gate 

I told the people remember one who needs to make amends 

'Cause better times are coming 

Better times ahead 

No one gets remembered 

My deathless child 

Don't waste too long in bed

And Peggy said: 

It doesn't matter where you come from 

It matters where you go 

No one gets remembered 

In this listless, loveless life 

For the things they didn't do 

Now, now, now, now, now 

Peggy sang the blues 

I've been drifting off 

Peggy sang the blues 

And I've drifted off 

Well Peggy sang the blues 

And I've drifted off 

Well Peggy sang the blues
