Church Street Blues

(الألبوم: Songs From The Stoop - 2010)

Lord I been hanging out of town in that low down rain
Watching good time Charlie friend is driving me insane
Down on shady Charlotte Street the green lights look red
Wish I was back home on the farm in my feather bed.

Get myself a rocking chair
To see if I can lose
Them thin dime hard times
Hell on Church Street blues.

Found myself a picker friend who's read yesterday's news
Folded up page twenty-one and stuck it in my shoe
Gave a nickle to the poor my good turn for the day
Folded up my own little folder threw it far away.

Lord I wish I had some guitar strings Old Black Diamond brand
I'd string up this old Martin box and go and join some band
But I guess I'll just stay right here just pick and sing a while
Try to make me a little change and give them folks a smile.
