I’m listening to Ellen McIlwain

Can’t believe I missed this train

She’s a monster that’s for sure

Love the way an outsider cures

I’m listening to Ellen McIlwaine

Some say Jimmy Hendrix felt the same

She’s a preacher, can I get a witness

Sermons on slide like nobody’s business

Sings forwards, backwards too

Bet she can boogaloo

Before Beyonce, before the Pixies

Found her calling in the sixties

I heard her one time in the eighties

Some survivor was this lady

Doesn’t scream at kids silencioso

The kind mystery bus driver virtuoso

Feeling a little ashamed

I totally missed Ellen McIlwaine
