St. Louis Slim - Seasick Steve

Now bensenville is a train yard over in chicago

And the bumpers y’all well that’s just the coupling

Between the freight cars

And calay is california that’s wah that mean

And the choke picker that someone who picks artichokes

Now you got the story y’all

Do you hear st.

louis slim lost a leg

He just outside bensenville

For some damn reason he was riding on the bumpers

Act like a young man will

And now the last we spoke he was going down to memphis

Said he got himself a girl

Said going queer, riding these rails

Give himself back to the world

But me i’m going down out to calay

And i believe that we’re I fisrt met him?

So bo' lets put our coins together

And drink a bottle to st.

louis slim?

Well

Awlright

I hear the looking for choke pickers out in watsonville

Your welcome to tag along

And maybe someday when i’m old and grey

I’ll write this xxxx down in a song

But in the meantime i’m going out to calay

I believe that where I fistm met him

So bo' lets put our coins together

And drink a bottle to st.

But in the meantime i’m going out to calay
