Liquor Store Blues Lyrics

Sleepy John Estes Liquor Store Blues

Now if you're ever on *Fourth Street* : I'll tell you
what to do
Let Mr Peter Adams : get acquainted with you

Well you won't have to go : well you won't have to go
You can get what you want to : right here in my liquor
store

He got a little whiskey : he got a little gin
All you got to do : is step in the back end

I met Mr Peter : down on Monroe Street
Come to Fourth Street : right around with me

He got some on his floor : he got some on his shelf
All you got to do : is just to help yourself

Mr Peter Albert : the discount man
You ask him for a favor : he won't make you ashamed
