Michigan Shoe Blues by Charlie "Dad" Nelson
Performed by
Charlie “Dad” NelsonMichigan Shoe Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Train to Michigan is always on time
Train to Michigan is always on time
That rich Michigan water drinks like sherry wine
[Verse 2]
Says I walked up on Hastings, turned all round and round
Walked up on Hastings, turned all round and round
High brown mama said "Baby, don't look so low down"
[Verse 3]
She said "When you go in Black Bottom, be sure to put your money in your shoe"
When you go in Black Bottom, be sure to put your money in your shoe
If you don't, Black Bottom women'll take it away from you"
