Blues for Pablo

Adios mi Corazon Iberia
 Adios mi Corazon adios
 Adios, adios Iberia
 Adios, adios Iberia
 Adios my Pablo
 You know how much we'll miss you
 when you finally leave us
 Vaya con Dios
 Over the water came a
 brother driven mad
 Puttin' forth a heathen horde
 on his people
 To blacken human spirit'll
 make the devil glad -- glad
 Things like that will make
 the devil glad
 Make the devil so glad
 You fight your brother
 Tryin' t' fight your brother
 drives you mad
 And madness blinds you Pablo
 Mi Pais, mi Catalonia -- When?
 When you comin' home?
 When you comin' home?
 Well, my heart is near home
 ever home
 None play our music
 None paint our pictures
 None make our spirit glow
 My body's leaving but not me
 Your face we will see
 On the day that we're free
 So go -- Pablo
 When danger threatens I must flee
 The darkness comes
 with a roll of the drums
 Dark! Dark!
 All the people work
 Yet there is no pay
 No pay -- low pay
 All the people work
 Yet the children hunger on, Pablo
 Hear me say Madre, mi Madre
 The everlasting light of art
 Will ever shine
 As long as I'm away from home
 The devil strikes without warning
 Turn life's wheel aroun'
 Black is white, wrong is right,
 up is down
 Life is heavy 'neath these
 new Conquistadores
 Los Conquistadores acted nice
 while at home
 Madre
 Mi Madre
 Mi Padre
 I know that you're the music
 and the beauty
 All I ever do
 Is to keep the lamp of beauty
 burning bright to keep it alive
 Keep the light alive
 To keep the light alive
 Keep the light alive
 That's a light s' gotta live
 All the people work
 All the people pray
 We miss you
 All the people pray
 For your safe returning (oh Pablo)
 Will you, will you, will you,
 will you, will you please
 Cast an eye overseas,
 over there, over there
 Over there around the
 Hispaniolas -- si Cuba
 Hombre Cubano,
 el comprende como sta?
 Adios, mi Corazon, Iberia
 Adios, o' little sons of Iberia
 Adios, Adios, Adios
 Adios
