The Refreshments (SE) - Clarksdale Blues lyrics

Clarksdale Blues J Arnell Streets are empty and the stores are all closed down There's a sense of desolation all cross town I'm walkin' 'round soakin' up the Clarksdale Blues There're some juke joints up around blues street Worn n' rugged they knocked me off my feet Gonna go there n' play them the Clarksdale Blues One day I'll be comin' back I'll come walkin' along rail road track And I'll be hummin' a tune called the Clarksdale Blues I bought a Silvertone guitar down in Blues town And it brings me back when I hear the sound Every night I'm strummin' the Clarksdale Blues This guitar is carryin' a lot of soul It played the blues before there was rock n' roll And it's teachin' me all about the Clarksdale Blues One day I'll be comin' back I'll come walkin' along rail road track And I'll be hummin' the tune called the Clarksdale blues A lot of bluesmen came from down here Went up to Memphis to record the their songs there They all knew all about the Clarksdale Blues Now if you wanna get a shot of somethin' real Come down and walk across the cottonfields At the crossroads I'll show you the Clarksdale Blues One day I'll be comin' back I'll come walkin' along rail road track And I'll be hummin' the tune called the Clarksdale Blues I'm talkin' bout the Clarksdale Blues Talkin' bout the Clarksdale Blues Bringin' you the Clarksdale Blues I'm talkin' bout the Clarksdale Blues Talkin' bout the Clarksdale Blues
