| Lyrics: | I was sittin' on a stump
Down in New Orleans,
I was feelin' kinda low down,
Dirty and
mean.
Along came a fella
And he didn't even ask.
He says, "I know of a woman
That
can fix you up fast."
I didn't think twice,
I said like I should,
"Let's go find this
lady
That can do me some good."
We walked across the river
On a sailin' spree
And we
came to a door
Called one-oh-three.
I was just about ready
To give it a little
knock
When out comes a fella
Who couldn't even walk.
He's linkin' and
a-slinkin',
Couldn't stand on his feet,
And he moaned and he groaned
And he shuffled
down the street.
Well, out of the door
There comes another man.
He wiggled and he
wobbled,
He couldn't hardly stand.
He had this frightened
Look in his eyes,
Like he
just fought a bear,
He was ready to die.
Well, I peeked through the key
crack,
Comin' down the hall
Was a long-legged man
Who couldn't hardly crawl.
He
muttered and he uttered
In broken French,
And he looked like he'd been through
A monkey
wrench.
Well, by this time
I was a-scared to knock,
I was a-scared to move,
I's
in a state of shock.
I hummed a little tune
And I shuffled my feet
And I started walkin'
backwards
Down that broad street.
Well, I got to the corner,
I tried my best to
smile.
I turned around the corner
And I ran a bloody mile.
Man, I wasn't
runnin'
'Cause I was sick,
I was just a-runnin'
To get out of there
quick.
Well, I tripped right along
And I'm a-wheezin' in my chest.
I musta run a
mile
In a minute or less.
I |
