Blues Lyrics: Paul Oscher


Here is the All-Music Guide's info for Paul.


This page contains lyrics to the following song(s):


Straw And A Pipe

Just for the *§*$%*@* of it, I transcribed this song off a RealAudio broadcast of the Steepin' In Da Blues radio show (the one for 4th November 1997) hosted by Dr. Gitsdown in Anchorage, Alaska...

This song is from this singer/harp player's album on Vice Root Records, "Knockin' On The Devil's Door".

If you have the free RealPlayer ( get it here), you too can enjoy this and other blues shows no matter where you're hanging out - like me, in Belgium, listening to a radio station in Anchorage, Alaska - on your PC. There is a list of many RealAudio blues links at the Blue Highway.

Now everybody's talkin'
  Baby all over town
Everybody's talkin'
  Baby all over town
Now everybody's talkin'
  Baby all over town
I got to put you down
  I got to put you down

Now my friends they tell me
  About somethin' they seen
My friends they tell me
  About somethin' they seen
They saw your face
  Down to Anna Mae's place

You was with some other guy
  He had a straw and a pipe
You was with some other guy
  He had a straw and a pipe
He had a sleek Cadillac
  He is gonna break your life

Four little children
  No mama in the house
Four little children
  No mama in the house
She's stayin' out all night
  Broken buttons on her blouse

No food on the table
  No food in the fridge
No food on the table
  No food in the fridge
Just a straw and a pipe
  That's where your mama is

(solo)

Just a straw and a pipe
  Is gonna break your life
Oooh a straw and a pipe
  Is gonna break your life
Just a sleek Cadillac
  You know you can't get back

Mmmm... baby
Whoa... baby
Mmmm... baby
Mmm... baby
