Lyrics
-- Farish Street Blues -- Down on Farish Street Where it hurts my eyes to see Down on Farish Street Where it hurts my eyes to see It's the most loneliest place You'd ever want to be. Down around Farish Street Ain't nothin' like it used to be Down around Farish Street Ain't nothin' like it used to be Empty stores, empty sidewalks Bout' all you can see. (boogie riff once around) They used to boogie They used to boogie all night long Rhythm and Blues You could hear it until dawn Tell me Farish Street Where has all your music gone? (back to fingerpicking) Ain't nobody singing Ain't no music anywhere Ain't nobody singing Ain't no music anywhere Tell me Farish Street Don't nobody care? (boogie riff once around) You're gonna boogie You're gonna boogie one more time In Jackson Mississippi We'll have a real good time Right down on Farish Street We'll have a real good time. (fingerpicking) Farish Street Blues You been gone too long Farish Street Blues You been gone too long Tell me Farish Street Can you hear this song? (boogie riff) Farish Street comin' back Won't be too long Been a long time coming It's been a long time gone Tell me Farish Street Can you hear this song? (fingerpicking) Farish Street Blues You been gone too long Farish Street Blues One day Farish Street We'll all be singing a new song. (instrumental fade)
