Blues was the story that Rory liked to tell ,
With fingers on the frets he made could make it yell .
He took the blues on the road and made it pay .
The Irish bluesmaster blew them all away .
The old twelve bar rifts brought a deafening roar ,
When he left the stage the crowd always screamed more .
He captured their hearts with a feel of his own .
He took Tony Joe White and added a tone .
His blues were wild and little bit shady .
Too much alcohol and his tattooed lady .
From Belfast to Dublin just as the crow flies ,
With the world at his feet and stars in his eyes .
He toured around Europe and recorded live ,
In the fast lane he went into overdrive
On the western plain at the end of the day
Easy come and easy go he lived that way .
