What it was
Was mostly grudge

Nice-lookin-dressed man
Very clean
And he is
The world's greatest blues harp player
And records
Was worldwide

And this girl gave him a dollar
At bane's place
To play something
but he count play
And me and Tampa
Was working at the time at
The 21 club

I got back
Me and Tampa and Elgin

We begin to look
For the fellas
It was so quiet

Quiet and funny
That night

We had come home
Looking for him
To go to the four o'clock joint

Didn't see
Nobody

It was about
Decoration day

We get home
At two
West side

There's no tracks
Like there is now

Didn't see no Sonny Boy
No Lee Brown
Not Leroy

It came up that he was dead

And Slim recalled
How slim and sonny by
On the way home
Home from the clubs
Would go to Lake Michigan
And sleep on the beach

And wake up
With their money
Still
In their
Pockets.
