Bert’s Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Been a-lookin' for a good girl
But it's takin' time
A-been a-lookin' for a good girl
A-one to please my mind
As well as my time
[Verse 2]
I've been singin' in the evenin'
Flyin' through the night
But I hurt my good gal
I hope she makes out right
Flyin' through the night
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I've been pickin' up the sunshine
I've been drinkin' down the rain, yeah
I've been pickin' up sunshine
A-makes me think on when
I'll see you again
[Verse 4]
You know time could bring a change, girl
It ain't for me to say
A-you'll soon be out of range, girl
A-this could only be
The way it's meant to be
[Bridge]
Fairy castle stark and black in the moonlight
The jingle-jangle jester rides his stallion
Seagull flies across my eyes forever
Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades
Would I, should I, could I be a stranger?
I shall walk right by and sigh. "Goodbye"
[Interlude]
Lucifer calls his legions from the hillside
Sadly, goes the wind on its way to Hades
[Outro]
I've been lookin', oh yeah
I say I've been lookin' for a good girl
You better believe it, baby, yeah
Yes, I've been lookin' for a good gal, ah yeah
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you
Yeah, I've been a-lookin'
