Church Street Blues Lyrics

Tony Rice Church Street Blues Lyrics

Lord I been hangin' out of town in that low down rain
Watchin' good time Charlie friend is drivin' me insane
Down on shady Charlotte Street all the green lights look red
I wish I was back home on the farm in my feather bed.
And I got myself a rockin' chair
To see if I could lose
This thin dime hard times
Hell on Church Street blues.
I found myself a picker friend that I registered James Earl
I folded up page twenty-one and stuck it in my shoe
They gave me a nickle to the poor my a good turn for the day
I folded up my own little folder threw it far away.
And I wish I had some guitar strings Old Black Diamond brand
I'd string up this old Martin box and go and join some band
But I guess I'll go and stay right here and pick and sing a while
Try to make me a little change and give them folks a smile.
