Slu-Foot Lou

(album: Blues Singer 1929-1931 - 1996)

In all these years that I bummed around
Why just today I really found
That certain girl that boys go wild about
She tore my heart right out
Now she's long and tall and got a funny name
But I love that gal just the same

Now Slu-Foot Lou is 9-4-2
And slim as a doggone rail
Folks go wild about that child
In fact there's four in jail
Now she don't wear powder nor paint
But she got that certain something that the other girls ain't
Well, the 2-4-9 or 9-4-2
You'll never get lonely with Slu-Foot Lou

Now Slu-Foot Lou is 9-4-2, and her heart is made of gold
She's got oil down in Oklahoma, and some that's gonna be so
Now she promised me a brand new bus
If I don't did love her then I loved her bus... Well, the 2-4-9 or 9-4-2
I'll never get an inch away from Slu-Foot Lou

Now Slu-Foot Lou is 9-4-2
And slim as a doggone rail
Folks go wild about that child
In fact there's four in jail
Now she don't wear pouder nor paint
But she got that certain something that the other girls ain't
Well, the 2-4-9 or 9-4-2
I'll never get an inch away from Slu-Foot Lou
