Lyrics
Room 411 She was a Port Arthur Texas girl She liked her friends to call her Pearl But she was hounded out of her hometown Coz she was diffrent and she liked those black Blues sounds Her spirit was light and it was free Even though they didnt want her to be They wished she was repressed and lived a lie But to be like them, she would rather have died See Janis going down the tracks And Janis aint ever coming back, no, no You left your Big Brothers and went alone And alone you would wander and would roam Little girl lost so far away from home Drifting from place to place just like a rolling stone She was a little girl lost Living without repentance A little girl lost Trying to find acceptance See Janis going down the tracks And Janis aint ever coming back, no, no, no, no She looked for love Wherever she thought it could be found But in the end Evryone shed ever loved let her down She had a sweet at the Chelsea Hotel Leo would remember her very well Theyd met in that lift thatd never progressed But Leo knew what buttons he needed to press She played Monterey and then Woodstock Everyone loved her Blues and how she rocked She sang all through her heartache and her pain She said Love is like a ball and chain See Janis going down the tracks And Janis aint ever coming back Aint ever coming back She liked men and also women too To talk about that in those days was strictly taboo There was a kinky song about Lola That got banned by the dumb BBC Not because it was about Lola but because it mentioned coca cola They called her The wild woman of Blues And no one could sing the Blues like you do Sing me the Blues like you used to Janis sing me the Blues, sing me the Blues She was in Hollywood and the night was dark Returned from the studio to The Landmark She took a hit that was far too strong Her time on this earth wasnt long Her ashes were scattered over the sea She is at peace now and is pain free Janis, Janis going down the tracks You know that Janis aint ever coming back She was a little girl lost Living without repentance A little girl lost Trying to find acceptance She looked for love Wherever she thought it could be found But in the end Evryone shed ever loved let her down Let her down
