One Finger Louie Lyrics

Waste Of Aces One Finger Louie

*"I learned this song when I spent sometime learning the Ukulele down in the Mississippi Delta, an old friend of mine Charlie Patterson taught it to me and after I learned it I could never forget it, it was the saddest song I ever heard; goes a little something like this"*

One Finger Louie he don't sing the blues
One Finger Louie he don't sing the blues
He had another finger, he don't have nothing left to lose

Well, Jeremiah Jackson he don't live next door
Yes, Jeremiah Jackson he don't live next door
I caught him peaking at my woman
Had to give him the ol' what for
That's right, you know what I mean

Take me on back to the Delta

Yeah, my sister Betty she don't pay no rent
Yes my sister Betty she don't pay not rent
She gets her check on Monday, by Tuesday the money's all spent

That's right... just can't keep it in her pocket

Put me out of my misery
