Seasick Steve St. Lois Slim lyrics

Now Bensenville is a train yard over in Chicago<br />
And the bumpers y'all well that's just the coupling<br />
Between the freight cars<br />
And Calay is California that's what that mean<br />
And the choke picker that someone who picks artichokes<br />
Now you got the story y'all<br />
<br />
Do you hear St. Louis Slim lost a leg<br />
He just outside Bensenville<br />
For some damn reason he was riding on the bumpers<br />
Act like a young man will<br />
<br />
And now the last we spoke he was going down to Memphis<br />
Said he got himself a girl<br />
Said going queer, riding these rails<br />
Give himself back to the world<br />
<br />
But me I'm going down out to Calay<br />
And I believe that we're I first met him?<br />
So bo' let's put our coins together<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim?<br />
<br />
Well, alright<br />
<br />
I hear the looking for choke pickers out in Watsonville<br />
Your welcome to tag along<br />
And maybe someday when I'm old and gray<br />

I'll write this XXXX down in a song<br />
<br />
But in the meantime I'm going out to Calay<br />
I believe that where I first met him<br />
So bo' let's put our coins together<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim<br />
<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis' sleeve<br />
You remember him, you remember him<br />
<br />
But in the meantime I'm going out to Calay<br />
I believe that we're both but him?<br />
So bo' let's put our coins together<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim<br />
<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim<br />
And drink a bottle to St. Louis<br />
<br />
One bottle to St. Louis<br />
One bottle to St. Louis Slim
