Seasick Steve - St. Louis Slim lyrics

rate me

Now Bensenville is a train yard over in Chicago

And the bumpers y’all well that’s just a couple in-between the freight cars

And Calay is California that’s wah I mean

And the choke picker that song picks artichokes

Now you got the story y’all

Do you hear St. Louis slim lost a leg

just outside Bensenville

For some damn reason he was riding on the bumpers

Actin like a young man who will

And now the last we spoke he was going down to Memphis

Said he got himself a girl

said im gonna quit riding these here rails

Give himself back to the world

But me I’m going out to Calay

I believe that's where i first met him

So bo’ lets put our coins together

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

Well

Awlright

I hear the look of the choke pickers out in Watsonville

Your welcome to tag along

And maybe someday when I’m old and grey

I’ll write this shit down in a song

But in the meantime I’m going out to Calay

I believe thats where i first met him

So bo’ lets put our coins together

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis’ Slim

You remember him

You remember him

But in the meantime I’m going out to Calay

I believe thats where i first met him

So bo’ lets put our coins together

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis

One bottle to St. Louis

One bottle to St. Louis Slim…………

My best attempt Please correct if any errors. Do

Thanks to Ted
