lyrics

(GEORGE WASHINGTON BLUES)
SANDO

I WENT OUT LAST NIGHT THINKING I HAD NOTHING TO LOSE
YEA WENT OUT LAST NIGHT THINKING I HAD NOTHING TO LOSE
I SLEPT SO MANY PLACES I DON’T KNOW WHERE I LEFT MY SHOES

MAMA STAYED UP WAITIN’ GAVE ME THE THIRD DEGREE
MAMA STAYED UP WAITIN’ GAVE ME THE THIRD DEGREE
I CANNOT TELL A LIE I JUST CHOPPED DOWN THE CHERRY TREE

OH I SLEPT IN ALEXANDRIA SLEPT IN OLD RINGWOOD TOO
SLEPT IN ALEXANDRIA SLEPT UP IN RINGWOOD TOO
WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M GONNA DO

I MAY BE BUSY BUT YOU KNOW I’VE GOT TO GET MY KICKS
I SURE AM BUSY BUT YOU KNOW I’VE GOT TO GET MY KICKS
I’M THE FATHER OF THE COUNTRY THE SPIRIT OF SEVENTY SIX

INST

I SLEPT IN HOHOKUS PEEKSKILL AND HAVERSTRAW
I SLEPT IN HOHOKUS PEEKSKILL AND HAVERSTRAW
UP IN NEW YORK CITY WAY DOWN IN BALTIMORE

YOU SEE MY FACE PRINTED ON A DOLLAR BILL
OH YOU SEE MY FACE PRINTED ON EVERY DOLLAR BILL
I’M LEGAL TENDER AND BABY YOU KNOW I WILL

I’VE GOT 17,000 MEN, READY TO STEAL THE SHOW
I’VE GOT 17,000 MEN, AND THEY’RE READY TO STEAL THE SHOW
I’VE GOT 150 SLAVES AND I AIN’T NEVER GONNA LET THEM GO
