Lyrics
Well I've been hangin' out uptown, Lordy in that lowdown rain
Watching good time Charlie friend is a-driving me insane
And up on shady Charlotte Street, Lord, the green lights look red
I wish I was back home on the farm, Lordy in my feather bed
And I got myself a rocking chair to see if I could lose
These thin dime, hard time, hell on Church Street blues
Well I found myself a picker friend and I read yesterday's news
I folded up page twenty-one and I stuck it in my shoes
Well I gave me a nickel to the poor, my good turn for the day
I folded up my old billfold and I threw it far away
And I got myself a rocking chair to see if I could lose
These thin dime, hard time, hell on Church Street blues
Well I wish I had some guitar strings, old black diamond brand
I'd string up this old Martin box and I'd go and join some band
But I guess I'm a-gonna stay right here and to pick and sing a while
Try to make me a little change and give them folks a smile
And I got myself a rocking chair to see if I could lose
These thin dime, hard time, hell on Church Street blues
And I got myself a rocking chair to see if I could lose
These thin dime, hard time, hell on Church Street blues
