Goode Guy Poet Rhyme

Thrill Is Gone

Thrill is Gone

Blues Boy, oh blues boy
say it ain't so 
Lucille's lover done gone
now I'm goin' down slow

B.B. bye baby 
I jus' heard da news
that B.B. is gone
the King of the blues

"thrill is gone away from me.
Although I'll still live on,
But so lonely I'll be."*
knowin' no more B.B.

Lucille, Lucille, 
I want you to know
I too, loved that blues man, 
B.B., your beau
