Shannon Street Blues

歌詞

I went down on Shannon Street Now to buy some alcohol I went down on Shannon Street Now to buy some alcohol I told him to put it half-full a-water But they didn't put it in any drop at all So, I drunk my straight whiskey Now an I staggered on in the street So, I drink my straight whiskey Now an I staggered on in the street Now but my head got so heavy That my eyes couldn't even give a peep Lacey tells me, 'Papa, papa' Well, you ain't no good at all' Lacey tells me, 'Papa, papa' Well, you ain't no good at all' Now she say, 'You don't make me happy So long as you fool with this alcohol' Sometimes I tell her, 'Oooh Lacey, this alcohol is killin' me' Sometimes I tell her, 'Oooh Lacey, this alcohol is killin' me' Well, now they told me if I didn't quit drinkin' In some lonesome cemetery I would be I say, 'Lacey baby, won't you go ridin' Can an take you ridin' wit' me in my car?' I say, 'Lacey, baby won't you go ridin' Can an take you ridin' wit' me in my car?' She says, 'Sonny Boy, I'm scared you'll get a drink a-whiskey An I'm scared that we won't ride very fer.
