Clarksdale Blues - The Refreshments

Streets are empty and the stores are all closed down

There´s a sense of desolation all cross town

I´m walkin´ ´round soakin´ up the Clarksdale Blues

There´re some juke joints up around blues street

Worn n´ rugged they knocked me off my feet

Gonna go there n´ play them the Clarksdale Blues

One day I´ll be comin´ back

I´ll come walkin´ along rail road track

And I´ll be hummin´ a tune called the Clarksdale Blues

I bought a Silvertone guitar down in Blues town

And it brings me back when I hear the sound

Every night I´m strummin´ the Clarksdale Blues

This guitar is carryin´ a lot of soul

It played the blues before there was rock n´ roll

And it´s teachin´ me all about the Clarksdale Blues

One day I´ll be comin´ back

I´ll come walkin´ along rail road track

And I´ll be hummin´ the tune called the Clarksdale blues

A lot of bluesmen came from down here

Went up to Memphis to record the their songs there

They all knew all about the Clarksdale Blues

Now if you wanna get a shot of somethin´ real

Come down and walk across the cottonfields

At the crossroads I´ll show you the Clarksdale Blues

One day I´ll be comin´ back

I´ll come walkin´ along rail road track

And I´ll be hummin´ the tune called the Clarksdale Blues

I´m talkin´ bout the Clarksdale Blues

Talkin´ bout the Clarksdale Blues

Bringin´ you the Clarksdale Blues

I´m talkin´ bout the Clarksdale Blues

Talkin´ bout the Clarksdale Blues
