Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't go to Gibsom 'cross the river
The Devil is hungry, the Devil is sweet
If you are soft, then you will shiver
[Verse 2]
They hang the alley cats on Gibsom Street
They hang the alley cats on Gibsom Street
Whoa, Gibsom, Gibsom in the street
[Verse 3]
I wish my baby were forbidden
I wish that my world be struck by sleet
I wish to keep my mirror hidden
[Verse 4]
To hide the eyes that looked on Gibsom Street
To hide the eyes that looked on Gibsom Street
Whoa, Gibsom, Gibsom Street
[Verse 5]
In my sorrow, oh, my mournin'
In my sorrow, oh, my mournin'
In my sorrow, oh, my mournin'
[Verse 6]
There is a man, he knows where I'm goin', yeah
He gave me a strawberry to eat
I sucked its juices, never knowin'
That I would sleep that night on Gibsom Street
