"West Helena Blues" lyrics - ELVIN BISHOP & CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE

I got a woman that I'm loving
Lives in West Helena, Arkansas
I got a woman that I'm loving
Lives in West Helena, Arkansas
She buys me long toed shoes
Keeps that Brown Mule in my jaw

She gets paid every Friday
Along about 11 o'clock
She gets paid every Friday
Along about 11 o'clock
Then from on 'til Monday morning
You know the whole town reel and rock

They tell me West Helena
It ain't nothing but a murderer's home
Yeah, they tell me West Helena
It ain't nothing but a murderer's home
I don't care if it's a graveyard
That's where I'll be before long
