Now Bensenville is a train yard over in Chicago
And the bumpers y’all well that’s just a couple in-between the freight cars
And Calay is California that’s wah I mean
And the choke picker that song picks artichokes
Now you got the story y’all

Do you hear St. Louis slim lost a leg
just outside Bensenville
For some [bad word] reason he was riding on the bumpers
Actin like a young man who will

And now the last we spoke he was going down to Memphis
Said he got himself a girl
said im gonna quit riding these here rails
Give himself back to the world

But me I’m going out to Calay
I believe that's where i first met him
So bo’ lets put our coins together
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

Well
Awlright

I hear the look of the choke pickers out in Watsonville
Your [bad word] to tag along
And maybe someday when I’m old and grey
I’ll write this [bad word] down in a song

But in the meantime I’m going out to Calay
I believe thats where i first met him
So bo’ lets put our coins together
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis’ Slim

You remember him

You remember him

But in the meantime I’m going out to Calay
I believe thats where i first met him
So bo’ lets put our coins together
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim…

And drink a bottle to St. Louis

One bottle to St. Louis

One bottle to St. Louis Slim…………
