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
