Leroy Carr - Straight Alky Blues, Part II Lyrics

Lyrics Straight Alky Blues, Part II - Leroy Carr



My baby said, "Papa, papa, well, you ain't no good at all"
My baby said, "Papa, papa, well, you ain't no good at all"
"You ain't no steel-drivin' man when you drink straight alkyhol"
My baby told me she'd go riding with me in my car
My baby told me she'd go riding with me in my car
But when my tires go soft, my baby won't ride very far
Oh that alky put ideas in your head
Oh that alky put ideas in your head
But sometimes your body can't do what those ideas said
Oh that straight alky sure has done me wrong
Oh that straight alky sure has done me wrong
It took all of my money, and now my baby's gone
