Elvin Bishop and Charlie Musselwhite - West Helena Blues
I got a woman that I'm loving, lives in West Helena, Arkansas
I got a woman that I'm loving, lives in West Helena, Arkansas
She buys me long toed shoes, keeps that Brown Mule in my jaw
She gets paid every Friday, along about eleven o'clock
She gets paid every Friday, along about eleven o'clock
Then from on 'til Monday morning, you know the whole town reel and rock
They tell me West Helena, it ain't nothing but a murderers' home
They tell me West Helena, it ain't nothing but a murderers' home
I don't care if it's a graveyard, that's where I'll be before long
