Street Car Blues

Street Car Blues - Sleepy John Estes

Now I know the people

Is 'onna wonder ev'rywhere

I say I know the people

Is 'onna wonder ev'rywhere

Because they heard of poor John

Was saw around 'lectric car

Now catch the Central car for

Ride it down to Central Street

I say I catch the Central car for

Ride it down to Central Street

Lord I'm 'onna ease it down in Rovers

Catch my baby out on a midnight train

Lord reason why baby I

I been so long writin' to you

I said the reason why baby

I been so long writin' to you

Because I been studyin' so hard

Lord how to all sing these blues

'Sing 'em boy for Mr James '

Lord I lost my papa and my dear mama too

I say I love my papa and my dear mama too

Lord I'm gonna quit my bad way of livin'
