John Mayall

Looking back through the years
Like I got myself a time machine
Memories flood around me
People and places where I've been
I had the blues for the lost days
Way back when times were lean

We had Sonny Boy, Freddy King and Hendrix
And they'd be sitting in till the break of dawn
Sweating at the all night Flamingo
And coming out to pigeons on a Sunday morn
So many raves, so much music

But back then, nobody knew that the London blues were born

So today I got to thinking
Where go friends that drift apart
Some of them are dead and gone now
But they still live on in my heart
I had the blues for the lost days
And there ain't never gonna be no counterpart

Oh, where is my Sandy?
What does she do each day and night?
Well, I follow her behaviour
The way she do it just ain't right

Well, she's taken my pendant
It's lying on her breast
But if I was her lover
I'd lay her down and take the rest

Well, I stood by her doorway
She couldn't see me from afar
But it hurt me to see her
Step inside another man's car

Well, I knew I'd be waiting
For her to come to me in vain
But I'll still be waiting
When she takes me for a fool again

Well, Sandy, oh, Sandy
The way you do, it just ain't right
The way you do
It just ain't right

My blues for Jenny means she’s not around
I wish my Jenny could be homeward bound
I’d live through all my lonely confusion if I c’d only see her again

I think of Jenny as a memory
I wish my Jenny could be here with me
I’d live through all my lonely confusion if I c’d only see her again

I don’t see Jenny ? and the years go by
Maybe that Jenny gotta ’nother guy
I’d live through all my lonely confusion if I c’d only see her again

I dream of Jenny and the night is cold
My bed is empty, need her now to hold
I’d live through all my lonely confusion if I c’d only see her again
