Clarksdale Blues

Streets are empty and the stores are all closed down
There´s a sense of desolation all cross town
I´m walkin´ ´round soakin´ up the Clarksdale Blues
There´re some juke joints up around blues street
Worn n´ rugged they knocked me off my feet
Gonna go there n´ play them the Clarksdale Blues
One day I´ll be comin´ back
I´ll come walkin´ along rail road track
And I´ll be hummin´ a tune called the Clarksdale Blues
I bought a Silvertone guitar down in Blues town
And it brings me back when I hear the sound
Every night I´m strummin´ the Clarksdale Blues
This guitar is carryin´ a lot of soul
It played the blues before there was rock n´ roll
And it´s teachin´ me all about the Clarksdale Blues
One day I´ll be comin´ back
I´ll come walkin´ along rail road track
And I´ll be hummin´ the tune called the Clarksdale blues
A lot of bluesmen came from down here
Went up to Memphis to record the their songs there
They all knew all about the Clarksdale Blues
Now if you wanna get a shot of somethin´ real
Come down and walk across the cottonfields
At the crossroads I´ll show you the Clarksdale Blues
One day I´ll be comin´ back
I´ll come walkin´ along rail road track
And I´ll be hummin´ the tune called the Clarksdale Blues
I´m talkin´ bout the Clarksdale Blues
Talkin´ bout the Clarksdale Blues
Bringin´ you the Clarksdale Blues
I´m talkin´ bout the Clarksdale Blues
Talkin´ bout the Clarksdale Blues
