Papa Charlie Jackson - Maxwell Street Blues lyrics

I was walkin' down Morgan, stopped on Maxwell Street I was walkin' down Morgan, stopped on Maxwell Street I asked the desk sergeant what police brought my girl in off of the street I stood and talked to the desk sergeant, 'til he went fast asleep Hey, Hey, 'til he went fast asleep 'Cause I knew my mama got arrested on Maxwell Street Lord,, I'm talkin' 'bout the wagon, talkin' 'bout the push cart, too Lord I'm talkin' 'bout the wagon, talkin' 'bout the push cart, too 'Cause Maxwell Street's so crowded on a Sunday you can hardly pa** through There's a Maxwell Street Market, got Water Street Market, too There's a Maxwell Street Market, got a Water Street Market, too If you ain't got no money, the women got nothing for you to do I got the Maxwell Street Blues, mama, and they just won't 'have Hey Hey and they just won't 'have 'Cause the Maxwell Street women gonna carry me to my grave I live six twenty-four, mama, and I'm talkin' to you I live six twenty-four Maxwell, mama, and I'm talkin' to you 'Cause I swear I don't want the doodlie doodlie doodlie outta you
