LITTLE WALTER

I’m broken down and dirty constantly confused
Nothing satisfies me but I could use a shot of blues
There are angels in the alley but no harps can be heard
Just the demons in my memory and I cling to every word
This is a mean old world I’d like to blow it all away
I wish that I could hear Little Walter play

Give a poor man money his tragedy will cease
Me I’m always hungriest the day after the feast
Once there was passion in my fingertips
Send me an angel with chrome between his lips
Tell me mama what price I have to pay
I wish that I could hear Little Walter play

On a cold Chicago morning in a hotel in Tennessee
Broken down in some Northern town the blues keep haunting me
I bend to pick up the pieces but they slide right through my hands
Help me mama ‘cause I’m too weak to stand
This is a mean old world I’d like to blow it all away
I wish that I could hear Little Walter play
