West Helena Blues

I got a woman that I'm loving, lives in West Helena, Arkansas

I got a woman that I'm loving, lives in West Helena, Arkansas

She buys me long toed shoes, keeps that Brown Mule in my jaw

She gets paid every Friday, along about eleven o'clock

She gets paid every Friday, along about eleven o'clock

Then from on 'til Monday morning, you know the whole town reel and rock

They tell me West Helena, it ain't nothing but a murderers' home

They tell me West Helena, it ain't nothing but a murderers' home

I don't care if it's a graveyard, that's where I'll be before long
