The Lyrics

It's kind of like the original except it's rewritten to be about Jimi Hendrix one of my favorites. The original was dedicated to one of the Pretenders that died in 1982. (Personal opinion: I was never really fond of that group so that's why I redid the song.)
The wind cried, "Mary turn on the light!"
Party at the watchtower tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker

I know it's late and he's a Voodoo Child
So many people here runnin' wild
Guard your soul from Manic Depression
Play guitar with some great aggression
We may not be at The Fillmore
But this is a show you will be ready for

Start up a fire so unbelievably bright
I'm gonna enjoy the experience tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

Don't have to change, he's up in the sky
He never said he wanted to kiss this guy
Mr. Business Man, he don't see
Don't point your plastic finger, you can never dress like me
He performs tonight, rock like Jagger
Hey everybody here comes Dolly Dagger

Performance tonight, at the watchtower
Rockin' down the line, after tonight it'll be his last hour

Here comes Janis, Eric, and Jim
They got Jimi's number and they're looking at him
The Experience setting up the stand
There's Joe with a gun in his hand
Don't want to get shot, I don't want to fight
But there will be a lot of Purple Haze tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

Angels calling afar, 'till his time arrives
Burning the guitar, 'till we lose our lives

Hey Janis, tell Lizard Jim
It's gonna be the last time you see him
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
There's a party tonight!
There's a party tonight!
There's a party tonight!
There's a party tonight!
