Six Strings Down Lyrics

Alpine Valley, in the middle of the night
Six Strings Down, on the heaven-bound flight
Got a pick, a strap, guitar on his back
Ain't gonna cut the angels no slack
Heaven done called another blues stringer back home

VERSE:
See the voodoo chile, holding out his hand
I've been waitin' on you brother
Welcome to the band
Good blues stringin', heaven-fine singin'
Jesus, Mary and Joseph been lis'nin' to you playin'
Heaven done called another blues stringer back home
Lord, they called another blues stringer back home

Albert Collins up there
Muddy an' Lightnin' too
Albert King and Freddy playin' the blues
T-Bone Walker, Guitar Slim
Little Son Jackson and Frankie Lee Sims
Heaven done called another blues stringer back home
Lord, they called another blues stringer back home
Lord, they called another blues stringer back home
They called another blues stringer back home

Heaven done called another blues stringer back home
Lord, they called another blues stringer back home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
