Canal Street

Cat. #1426 (MFH #960) - As sung by Charles Varley, Hope, Arkansas on January 19, 1967

VERSE 1
I was walking down Canal Street
Knocking every door
You got-down-somin'-bitch
I couldn't find a whore

VERSE 2
I finally found a whore
She was tall an' slim
You got-down-somin'-bitch
I couldn't get it in

VERSE 3
I finally got it in
An' worked it all about
You got-down-somin'-bitch
I couldn't get it out

VERSE 4
I finally got it out
An' it was red an' sore
Th moral of th story
Don't fruit with a whore
