CHURCH STREET BLUES (Norman Blake) Lord, I been a-hangin' out of town in that low-down rain. Watchin' good-time-Charlie friends is a-drivin' me insane. Out on shady Charlotte Street the green lights look red. Wish I's back home on the farm in my feather bed. cho: Get myself a rockin' chair to see if I could lose Them thin-dime, hard-time, hell-on-Church-Street blues. Found myself a picker-friend's read yesterday's news Folded up page twenty-one, stuck it in my shoes. Gave me a nickel to the poor, my good turn for today, Folded up my old billfold and I threw it far away. CHO. 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'm gonna stay right here, just pick and sing awhile, Try to make me a little change and give them folks a smile. CHO. © Happy Valley Music, BMI As sung by Norman Blake on "Whiskey Before Breakfast," 1976. Also in the Rounder collection "Hills of Home," 1995. @music filename[ CHRCHSTB JTD Feb07 |
