Lee Hazlewood: 1929 - 2007

Dead & Gone: Lee Hazlewood (1929 – 2007)


Cake, Death, and a Requiem for One of the Greats

Kiss all the pretty ones goodbye
Give everyone a penny that cry
You can throw all my tranquil' pills away
Let my blood pressure go on its way
For my autumn's done come
My autumn’s done come.
(Lee Hazlewood, My Autumn’s Done Come)
