Maxwell Street Blues - Papa Charlie Jackson

I was walking down morgan

Stopped on maxwell street

I was walking down morgan

Stopped on maxwell street

I asked the desk sergeant police force

My gal ain't

Off of the street

I couldn't talk to the desk sergeant

Tell him when desk sergeant

Hey hey

And where it took place

Because I knew my mama

Got arrested on maxwell street

Lord I'm talking about the wagon

Talking about the

Car too

Lord I'm talking about the wagon

Talking about the

Car too

Because maxwell street's so crowded on a sunday

You can

Hardly pass through

Hey hey hey hey hey hey

There's maxwell street market

Got water street market

Too

There's maxwell street market

Got water street market

Too

If you ain't got no money

The women got nothing for you

To do

I got the maxwell street blues

Mama and it just won't

Pay

Hey hey and it just won't

Pay

Because the maxwell street women

Going to carry me to

My grave

I live six twenty four

Mama and I'm talking

About you

I live six twenty four maxwell

Mama and I'm talking

About you

Because I swear I don't walk

Said buly buly buly how do

You
