I Met Roky Erickson - Jad Fair, Daniel Johnston

I met Roky Erickson

I met Roky Erickson

I saw him on a public access television

He said he signed his soul to the devil

I heard him on a radio

Singin' Don’t Shake Me Lucifer

This guy came to McDonald’s

Said he want to do a video

He said I worked with Roky Erickson

I said let’s make a horror movie

We took a bus across town

And we came to Roky’s home

We walked in and it was eerie

He was playing guitars with his records alone

We were going to make a film

Balled The Damn Thing

But it never came about

But I always went to his house

His mum would make chicken

And we would watch horror movies

The last time that I saw him

Was when he did a show

Me and Trisha Coffee

Went and saw Roky play

He sang Bloody Hammer

And Two Headed Dog

The band was true believers

But the promoters turned the power off

He said: «I've been drinking lots of blood.»

The crowd went wild

I met Roky Erickson

I met Roky Erickson

I met Roky Erickson

I met Roky Erickson

Roky…
