Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 – October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

Five Days, Five Days Lyrics

Gene Vincent

(one day, two days, three, four, five)
A-thats how long that shes been gone
And thats a long time
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Wont you please come home
I couldnt stand five more
Well the first day after she left me
I laughed and told my friends
That hed be back before
The sun is settin low again
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Wont you please come home
I couldnt stand five more
Well, the second day after she left me
I started to have my doubts
I wondered if she was comin back
Really had checked out
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Wont you please come home
I couldnt stand five more
(one, two, three, four, five days more)
Well, the third day after she left me
I started to watch the door
Before the day was over
I began to walk the floor
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Wont you please come home
I couldnt stand five more
Well the fourth day after she left me
I really began to sweat
She should have been back days ago
But she aint got back yet
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Wont you please come home
I couldnt stand five more
(one, two, three, four, five days more)
