Performed by
Leola B. “Coot Grant” WilsonState Street Men Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Western Union, send this telegram
Western Union, send this telegram
I want some [?] down in Birmingham
[Verse 2]
16 at the station, 17 standin' in the yard
16 at the station, 17 standin' in the yard
I'm goin' to leave this town if I have to ride the rods
[Instrumental Break and Humming]
[Verse 3]
I'd rather be a catfish swimmin' in the deep blue sea
I'd rather be a catfish swimmin' in the deep blue sea
Than to stay in Chicago, treated like they've done poor me
[Verse 4]
I come in this town, spendin' my money free
I come in this town, spendin' my money free, Lord, Lord
And these State Street men have made a fool out of me
