lyrics

Low Down

Got a little lady too lazy to get outta bed
She lay there soakin coffee into my three day old bread
But she’s my pawn shop baby but she always did me right
She play low down blues at 2.00am every night.

She got a broken trombone and a busted guitar
Now she ain’t never comin home, she’s gone too far
She been playin on the street with some skinny millionaire
He like her fireman’s hat and her long black hair

He like her bull whipped overdrive and her blind man cane
Now she’ll never put her crocodile boots under my bed again
But each night I wait for her down at Tobacco Row
She was the cause of it all now I got no place to go
Chorus
Yeah she low down
Yeah she low down
She drinkin that gin
Won’t be back again
Yeah she low down

Then I heard her howlin on the radio at quarter to 4
I tripped over her boots as I slammed through her door
I had me a pistol - a bottle of- Caribbean rum
Wanted to find that millionaire and show him my gun


She said he went that a-way and pointed to the door
I kicked her morning coffee all over the floor
I saw that skinny hound running 12 to the ten
I knew that low down dog wasn’t comin back again

Chorus
Yeah he was low down
Yeah runnin low down
