Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I been hangin' out of town, Lord
In that low down rain
Watchin' good-time Charlie, friends, is drivin' me insane
Up on shady Charlotte Street all the green lights look red
I wish I was back home on the farm, Lord, in my feather bed
[Verse 2]
And I got myself a rocking chair
To see if I could lose
These thin dime hard times
The hell on Church Street blues
[Verse 3]
I found myself a picker friend that read yesterday's news
I folded up page twenty-one and stuck it in my shoe
I gave me a nickel to the poor, my good turn for the day
I folded up my old billfold and threw it far away
[Verse 4]
And I got myself a rocking chair
To see if I could lose
These thin dime hard times
Hell on Church Street blues
[Verse 5]
Well, I wish I had some guitar strings, Old Black Diamond brand
I'd string up this old Martin box and go and join some band
But I guess I'm gonna to stay right here
And to pick and sing a while
Try to make me a little change and give them folks a smile
[Verse 6]
And I got myself a rocking chair
To see if I could lose
These thin dime hard times
The hell on Church Street blues
[Verse 7]
And I got myself a rocking chair
To see if I could lose
These thin dime hard times
The hell on Church Street blues
