Jake Leg Blues Songtext
von Mississippi Sheiks

You thought the lively man would die when you made the country dry
When you made it so that he could not get not another drop of rye
But I know that you will feel bad when you see what he had had
When you see him coming with a lot of dope, if you listen I will tell you so

Oh well, it′s here he comes, I mean to tell you, here he comes
He's got those jake limber leg blues
Here he comes, I mean to tell you, here he comes
He′s got those jake limber leg blues


When you see him coming, I am going to tell you
If you sell him jake, you'd better give him a crutch, too
Oh well, it's here he comes, I mean to tell you, here he comes
He′s got those jake limber leg blues

Oh step on it

Oh well, it′s here he comes, I mean to tell you, here he comes
He's got those jake limber leg blues
Here he comes, I mean to tell you, here he comes
He′s got those jake limber leg blues

He could be named Charley, and he could be named Ned
But if he drank this jake, it will give him the limber leg
Oh well, it's here he comes, I mean to tell you, here he comes
He′s got those jake limber leg blues
