Tin Can Alley Blues Songtext

von Lonnie Johnson

Drink another half a pint and a good, cool can of beer! [spoken words, Lonnie Johnson]
Oh, kick it, Mister Man! Kick it! [spoken words, Lonnie Johnson]
We're all down in tin can alley! [spoken words, Lonnie Johnson]

I was down in tin can alley, loaded down with that bust-head gin.
I was down in tan can alley, loaded down with that bust-head gin.
The police took me to the jailhouse, I got out and come right back again.

I like old tin can alley, I even like old tin can jail.
I like old tin can alley, I even like old tin can jail.
Still they treat me like a dog, with a tin can tied onto my tail.
