Lonnie Johnson

Low Down St. Louis Blues

I love my St. Louis women but their ways I really can't stand

I love my St. Louis women but their ways I really can't stand

They always bettin' some woman, how she can take her man

My woman dips snuff and she drinks a good old homemade corn

My woman dips her snuff and she drinks a good old homemade corn

She get as drunk as she can be, then she fight for the whole night long

And I got another gal, live down on Deep Morgan Street

And I got another gal, she lives down on Deep Morgan Street

If she don't kill a man every day, all I can do is a keep her off of me

She drinks her homemade corn whiskey

Blackjack and a razor?s her friend

She drinks her homemade corn whiskey

A blackjack and a razor?s her friend

And she loves to kill a man just like the devil loves sin

Boys, I got another gal, she lives down on Walnut Street

Boys, I got another gal, she lives down on Walnut Street

My other gal is so bad, the cops is scared to walk the beat

She can make a blackjack talk and a razor fairly moan

She can make a blackjack talk and a razor fairly moan

From the way that gal kill up men, the graveyard ain't got much more room
