Lost at twenty-seven 

Robert played them blues

Only twenty seven

And the ole devil got his dues.

 

Lost at twenty seven

He was the first, Johnson

He played them blues

But that ole devil came for his dues.

 

Janis Joplin sang us her heart

She was only twenty seven

When he came for her

Yes she payed her dues.

 

Jimmy Morrison rocked the world

That devil got him drinking

At twenty-seven he wrote his last words

As hellfire took him to pay his dues.

 

Jimmy Hendrix he could play

Play all them blues

But at twenty-seven

The hell hounds came for him.

 

Brian Jones a mind on fire

He played it all at his own

Funeral pyre as the man in black

Came and took him back.

 

Kurt flew around the stage

Singing his life out

Packed full of rage, gone

Oooooh at twenty seven too.

 

Amy Winehouse sang her life away

There aint no rehab

Where he took her to.

At twenty-seven she lost her crew.
