Well, it might have been a bluebird, I don’t know But he’d get stone drunk and talk about Alaska
The salmon boats and 45 below
He got that blue wing up in Walla Walla Where his cellmate there was a Little Willy John And Willie, he was once a great blues singer And Wing & Willie wrote him up a song
(They sang,)
“It’s dark in here, can’t see the light 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
“Take a picture of this The fields are empty, abandoned ’59 Chevy Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John Yeah, that’s when time stood still”
I’m old enough to remember listening to Little Willie John, and my dad my dad had a 1959 Chevy Impala two-door hardtop, but I was not so lucky to be laying in the back seat.
If people recognize the song “Fever,” they are probably aware of Peggy Lee’s version. Take a listen to the original, then by one of favorite blues musicians, Buddy Guy.

Fever
You never know how much I love ya Never know how much I care When you put your arms around me I get a feelin’ that’s so hard to bear You give me fever
When you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin’ An’ fever all through the night
Listen to me, baby Hear ev’ry word I say No one could love you the way I do ‘Cause they don’t know how to love you my way You give me fever
When you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin’ An’ fever all through the night
Bless my soul, I love you Take this heart away Take these arms I’ll never use An’ just believe in what my lips have to say You give me fever
When you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin’ Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime Moon lights up the night My eyes light up when you call my name ‘Cause I know you’re gonna treat me right You give me fever
When you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin’ An’ fever all through the night
