Roy Buchanan (23 September 1939 – 14 August 1988) was an American guitarist and blues musician.
lyrics :
[guitar intro]
just a smile, just a glance
the prince of darkness
he just walked past
there's been a lot of evil
there've been a lot of sayin'
but this time I'm gonna tell it my way:
There was a town
Strange, lonely little town, they called 'The World'
a lovely, lovely little town
'Till one day a stranger appeared
And their hearts rejoiced, and the sad little town was happy again
But there were some that doubted; they disbelieved, so they mocked him
And the stranger, he went away
Now the sad little town that was sad yesterday
is a lot sadder today...
I walked in a lot of places that he never should have been
But I know that the Messiah, he will come again
