He had a blue wing

Tattooed on his shoulder

Might have been a bluebird I don't know

Get stone drunk and talk about alaska

The salmon boats and fourty five below

Well he got that blue wing up in walla walla

And his cellmate there was a little Willy John

Willie he was once a great blues singer

So wingin' Willie wrote him up a song

Sang it's dark in here

I can't see the sky

But I look at this blue wing when I close my eyes

And I fly away

Beyond these walls

Up above the clouds

Where the rain don't fall

On a poor man's dreams

They paroled blue wing in August of 1963

He moved north picking apples in the town of wenatchee

Then winter finally caught him in a rundown trailer park

On the south side of Seattle

The days grow grey and dark

And he drank and he dreamt a vision of when

The seven still ran free

And his father's fathers crossed that wide old bering sea

And the land belonged to everyone

There old songs yet to sing

Now it's broken down to a cheap hotel and a

Tattooed prison wing

That it's dark in here

I can't see the sky

But I look at this blue wing when I close my eyes

And I fly away

Beyond these walls

Up above the clouds

Where the rain don't fall

On a poor man's dreams

Well he drank his way to L A and

That's where he died

No one knew his christian name and there was

No one there to cry

But I dreamt there was a service a preacher and

A cheap pine box

And halfway through the sermon blue wing began to talk

He said it's dark in here

I can't see the sky

Oh but I look at this blue wing I close my eyes

And I fly away

Beyond these walls

Up above the clouds

Where the rain don't fall

On a poor man's dreams

On a poor man's dreams

On a poor man's dreams
