Skinny white sailor.
The chances were

slender, the beauties
were brief

Shall I mourn your
decline with some

thunderbird wine and
a black handkerchief?

I miss your sad

Virginia whisper

I miss the voice

that called my heart

Sweet Gene Vincent

young and old and gone

Sweet Gene Vincent

Who, who

who slapped John?

White face,
black shirt, white socks,
black shoes, black

hair, white strat,
bled white, died black.
Sweet Gene Vincent

At the sock hop ball

in the union hall where
the bop is their delight

Here come duck-tailed
Danny dragging
Uncanny Annie, she's
the one with the flying
feet

You can break the
peace. Daddy sickle

grease. the beat
is reet complete

And you jump
back honey in the

dungarees, tight
sweater and a ponytail

Will you guess her age

when she comes back

stage? The hoodlums
bite their nails

Black gloves,
white frost, black
crepe, white lead, white
sheet, black knight,
jet black, dead white.
Sweet Gene Vincent

And the devil drives 'til

the hearse arrives,
you lay that pistol down

Sweet Gene Vincent,

there's nowhere left to
hide

With lazy skin and

ashtray eyes
a perforated pride

So farewell
mademoiselle, Knicker

Booker hotel. Goodbye
to money owed

But when your leg still
hurts and you need
more shirts, you gotta
get back on the road
