Bell Street Blues

Bell Street Blues (Original Mix) - Blind Willie McTell

I live down in Bell Street Alley just as drunk as I

Can be

I live down in Bell Street Alley :

As drunk as I

Can be

Seem like them Bell Street Crow Janes

Have done got

Rough with me

I drink so much Bell Street whiskey

They won&apos t sell

Down no more

I drink so much Bell Street whiskey

They won&apos t sell

Down no more

I&apos ve got the *cavenglass* boys :

Playing all around my

Door

This Bell Street whiskey :

Make you sleep all in your

Clothes

This Bell Street whiskey :

Make you sleep all in your

Clothes

And when you wake up next morning :

Feel like you done

Laid outdoors

You can get booze down on Bell Street :

For two bits

And half a throw

You can get booze down on Bell Street

For two bits

And half a *throw*

They&apos ll make you send out your

Mother and father :

To

Just break down the jailhouse door

Walked in my room : the other night

Man come in : he want to fight

Took my gun : my right hand

Oh people I don&apos t want to kill no man

When I said that : he rapped me across my head

The first shot I fired :

Then the man fell dead

Bell street whiskey :

Drove me to the county jail

Got me laying back here on my bunk :

Nobody in the

World to go my bail
