lyrics

Slave Blues

Scrubbing time hogwash
yeah, the pigs will be squeaking clean x2
when the sundown train rushes through
that ain't nothing I haven't seen

Yeah, the steam engineer is just a shovelin'
he's gonna get us to New Orleans.
Won't take him too long to learn
to watch them coal stones burn.
he'll get his dollar worth of pennies
and give just a nickel in return.

Yeah well the story is neverending
'til the fat lady sings
you know I get tired of giving
all you people all my things.
you put a bruise on my backbone
and man does it ever sting.

about

Dan Frechette California

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
