Still Livin' On / (Bonus Track: Worried Man Blues) Songtext

Mississippi John Hurt was a farmin′ man
Played a sweet guitar with calloused hands
He touched my heart with southern grace
One of my heroes, dead an' gone - still livin′ on

Elizabeth Cotten, as a young girl
Wrote a famous tune went 'round the world
Freight train, freight train - a timeless song.
One of my heroes, dead an' gone - still livin′ on

Reverend Gary Davis smoked a fat cigar
A blind street-singer with a big guitar
Livin′ his sermon, he taught us so well
One of my heroes, dead an' gone - still livin′ on


Now, the great Son House - a Delta blues king
I saw him play an' heard him sing
I was a young man then, his time wasn′t long
He's one of my heroes, dead an′ gone - still livin' on

Sam Charters from Texas with his wife named Ann
Been spreadin' the word from land to land
Blues faces won′t fade away
One of my heroes, still livin′ on - still livin' on

Roebuck Staples - they called him "Pops"
His inspiration will never stop
I hear his voice inside my own
He′s one of my heroes, dead an' gone - still livin′ on.
Still livin' on

Read ′em in a book, look 'em up on the net
Blues people we can't forget
Roots need water for the tree to thrive
Talkin′ ′bout my heroes - still alive
My heroes - livin' on
Still livin′ on.
