Sleepy John Estes - Lawyer Clark Blues lyrics

Now, got offices in town, resident out on Century Road He got a nice little lake right inside the grove Boys you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, he really is my friend He say if I just stay out the grave He see that I won't go to the pen Now, Mist' Clark is a lawyer, his younger brother is, too When the battle get hot, he tell him just what to do Boys, you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, you know he is my friend He say if I just stay out the grave H see that I won't go to the pen Now, he lawyer for the rich, he lawyer for the poor He don't try to rob nobody, just bring along a little dough Boys, you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, he really is my friend He say if I just stay out the grave H see that I won't go to the pen Now, once I got in trouble, you know I was gonna take a ride He didn't let it reach the courthouse, he kept it on the outside Boys, you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, he really is my friend He say if I just stay out the graveyard Poor John I see you won't go to the pen Now, Mist' Clark is a good lawyer, he good as I ever seen He's the first man that prove that water run upstream Boys, you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, he really is my friend He say if I just stay out the grave Poor John, I see you won't go to the pen
