Tony Rice - Church Street Blues lyrics

rate me

Verse 1

Well I've been hangin' outta town, Lord in that low down rain

Watchin' good time Charle friends is a drivin' me insane

Up on shadey Charlotte Street both the green lghts look red

I wish I was back home on the farm Lord in my feather bed

Chorus

And I got myself a rockin' chair

To see if I could lose

These thin dime hard time

Hell on Church Street blues

Verse 2

I found myself a picker friend that read yesterday's news

I folded up page 21 and stuck it in my shoe

I gave me a nickel to the poor my good turn for the day

I folded up my old billfold and threw it far away

(Chorus)

Verse 3

Well 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 and pick and sing a while

Try to make me a little change and give those folks a smile

(Chorus)x2
