Southside Story

(album: Stories - 2002)

The band was jumping hot as hell
Everybody felt all right
Little Walter took the stand
And a blue note cut the night
In the hot red smokie light
As the music to control
Wouldn't ya know it? Some pretty woman
Felt the music touch her soul
She cried

Please won't you play
Your blues harmonica
Please won't you play
Blow my blues away

He sang it's hard to be all one
Sleeping by yourself
The one you love far away
Loving someone else
There's a train coming on
Everybody's got to go
A little rain in every heart
And a wolf at every door

Please won't you play
That blue harmonica

Little Walter blowing hot
Like a southern wind
People dancing sweet romancing
As night came to an end
He packed it up hit the streets
As they cut the neon light
Headed down to the darkness
Of the cold Chicago night
