paroles de chanson Dubuque Blues - The Association

Do you remember Dubuque?
Have you even heard of that?
Half way between New York and California
There is a highway in and back
Plus an active railroad track
And the west side of the city
Sells no liquor

Now I can recall the instances
That hung it in my thoughts
City parks, and night time girls
With ancient limestone rocks

Writing songs of rights and wrongs
And buyin' penny loafer shoes
Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got
The Dubuque blues

Do you remember Anna Sue?
Have you even heard of that?
She went from Tennessee
To Minnesota

When she was thirteen and I was ten
And like a gentle Southern wind
Well she made the moonlight shatter
Through the maples

Now I can recall the summers
That we spent among the trees
When there were no Monday bummers
To blow my life of ease

Writing songs of rights and wrongs
And buyin' penny loafer shoes
Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got
The Dubuque blues

Now the Dubuque blues ain't news
To anybody
Who knows sadness is the sweetest
Of the pain
Who can tell by just a glance
That it's all over
And who never cries
Well almost never cries

Do you remember nickel Cokes?
Have you even heard of that?
(I've heard of that)
It's half between the forties and tomorrow
Well I once considered it my home
But now I know I'll always roam
And if I pass through there again
I will be lucky

Now I can recall the instances
That hung it in my thoughts
City parks, oh the night time girls
With ancient limestone rocks

Writing songs of rights and wrongs
And buyin' penny loafer shoes
Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got
The Dubuque blues

Ohhhh... I got the Dubuque blues ev'ry night and day
I got the Dubuque blues
I know it's back to Iowaaayy
