Church Street Blues
Lord I been hangin' out of town in that low down rainWatchin' good time Charlie friend is drivin' me insaneDown on shady Charlotte Street the green lights look redWish I was back home on the farm in my feather bed. Get myself a rockin' 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 newsFolded up page twenty-one and stuck it in my shoeGave a nickle to the poor my good turn for the dayFolded up my own little folder threw it far away.Lord I wish I had some guitar strings Old Black Diamond brandI'd string up this old Martin box and go and join some bandBut I guess I'll just stay right here just pick and sing a whileTry to make me a little change and give them folks a smile
