Story behind the song
Was sleeping with his widow at the time. LOL. Actually it's having fun crossing the line between blues and the old spirituals and modern songpoem music. Like something you remember from a previous lifetime.
Lyrics
Poor Ol' Laz'us Dead & gone, left me here to sing this song Pretty little girl with the black dress on poor Laz'us, pale & gone... ( special thanks to Art Kaufman/David Fox for the additional lead electric guitar, also to Bud Morris for sitting in on session on rhythm guitar, Sheryl Clapton for backup vocals. )
