|
| |
| 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

Recording of "Dubuque Blues"
DUBUQUE BLUES. In 1967 “The Association,” one of the 1960s most popular bands, performed in the Locust Street Parking Ramp at a teen dance.
Jules Alexander, a member of the band, wrote the tune that was released on an album in 1969. The song sold well locally, but never achieved nationwide popularity.
See: DUBUQUE (SONG) for another musical tribute.
