Dead at Thirty-five

by

Alice C. Bateman

{written August 29, 1990 in remembrance of Stevie Ray Vaughn}

 

Five more souls on Heaven's rolls

Heaven must be rockin' tonight

 

Five more souls on Heaven's rolls

Heaven must be rockin' tonight

 

Five more souls on Heaven's rolls

Heaven must be rockin' tonight

 

Thank God we have your music

Thank God we had your love

You can thank Him now in person

Now that you have gone Above

 

Did you give our best to Jimi?

Is John Lennon doing fine?

Has Bob Marley been reborn yet?

When will we all cross the line?

 

Five more souls on Heaven's rolls

Heaven must be rockin' tonight

 

Five more souls on Heaven's rolls

Heaven must be rockin' tonight

 

And those of us left here

Are drowning in our tears

Why did you get on that deadly flight?

 

Stevie Ray, we'll miss you

Hope it was a painless death

Stevie Ray, we'll miss you

Hope you laughed with your last breath
