Don't Wait 'til I'm Dead

Don’t Wait ‘til I’m Dead

(refrain)
Don’t wait ‘til I’m dead.
See the life that I’ve led.
Don’t wait ‘til I’m dead.
Hear my music instead.

Robert Johnson played poor juke joints
all of his life.
He sang the blues but never knew
his tunes would be so right.

(refrain)

Don’t want the fame and fortune
long after I’m gone.
Why not make it now and
pay me for all of my songs?

(refrain)

Buddy Holly made it big
for just two years of his life.
It’s all it took to send rock n roll
completely out of sight.

(refrain)

Don’t want the fame and fortune
long after I’m gone.
Why not make it now and
pay me for all of my songs?

(refrain)
