Smokestack Lightning

Smokestack lightning

Shinin'

Shinin'

Just like gold

Can you hear me cryin'?

Whoa

Tell me baby

What wrong with you?

You don't love me

Like you used to do

Can you hear me moanin'?

Whoa

Tell me babe

Why did ya stay last night?

Hair's all tangled

Dress don't fit you right

Can you hear me cryin'?

Whoa

Who's been here since I been gone?

Little bitty boy had a derby on

Know how I know, honey?

He left his hat

Right on my bureau

Where my hat oughta be

Honey, can you hear me whisperin'?

Ooh

Stop your train, let a poor boy ride

Stop this train, let me come inside

Whoa

Smokestack lightning

The engine

The vibration

Shines like gold

You know I'm gettin' old

My hair is turnin' gray

I done bet my bottom dollar

You'da never see the handy dance it away

Ooh

Smokestack lightning

Shinin'

The engine

Just like gold

Where all the blues

Oh, that forgotten song

And all the blues men and women

Oh, they were something

I'm Watermelon Slim

Screamin'

Ah
