Whitewash Station Blues

Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
Well you can toot your whistle, blow your horn
The Memphis Jug Band done been here and gone
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
I say, the jug band will have a chance

If you wanna get to heaven I’ll tell you what to do
You put on a sock, put on a shoe
You place a bottle of corn in your right hand
That’ll crash you right over in the Promised Land

And if you meet the devil, he asks you how ya do
I’m on my way to heaven, don’t you wanna go too?
You know therе’s a place that’ll do just as well
Called Whitеwash Station, 10 miles from hell

Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
Lord, mama, what’s on your mind
You keep me worried ‘bout it all the time
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
I say, the jug band will have a chance

[Jug solo with kazoo and harmonica]

Ain’t got no stockings, ain’t got no shoes
You know I’ve got the Memphis Jug Band Blues
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
I say, the jug band will have a chance

[Jug solo with kazoo and harmonica]

So the jug band will have a chance
