Maxwell Street Blues Lyrics – Papa Charlie Jackson
Singer: Papa Charlie Jackson
Title: Maxwell Street Blues
TRANSCRIPTION IN PROGRESS
I was walkin’ down Morgan, stopped on Maxwell Street
I was walkin’ down Morgan, stopped on Maxwell Street
I asked the desk sergeant “What police brought my gal in off of the street?”
I couldn’t talk to the desk sergeant [scalleywag’s?] fast asleep
Hey, hey, [scalleywag’s] fast asleep
‘Cause I knew my mama got arrested on Maxwell Street
Lord I’m talking about the wagon, talking about the [push cart?] too
Lord I’m talking about the wagon, talking about the [push cart?] too
‘Cause Maxwell Street’s so crowded on a Sunday you can hardly pass through
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
There’s Maxwell Street Market, got Water Street Market too
Thеre’s Maxwell Street Market, got Watеr Street Market too
If you ain’t got no money the women got nothing for you to do
I got the Maxwell Street blues, mama and it just won’t pay
Hey, hey, and it just won’t pay
‘Cause the Maxwell Street women gonna carry me to my grave
I live 624, mama and I’m talking to you
I live 624 Maxwell, mama and I’m talking to you
‘Cause I swear I don’t walk, say [duly, duly, duly?] how are you?
