Black Uncle Remus by Loudon Wainwright III

Black Uncle Remus Lyrics

[00:37.27] Black uncle Remus sits in Central Square
[00:39.85] Somebody flipped the Rocker of his rocking chair
[00:45.46] When you got the whiskey habit
[00:48.20] You don't talk about bre'r rabbit
[01:05.67] Black uncle Remus got the death letter blues
[01:08.33] The hellhound says it time to pay your dues
[01:14.10] You really recall the catfish catches
[01:16.67] When you're living in the briar patches
[01:57.85] Uncle Remus, he moans and he sings
[02:01.02] His tears have rusted his Banjo Strings
[02:06.10] You call for Jesus or your ma maybe
[02:09.05] When you're life's gummed up in the tar, baby
[02:15.21] Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do?
[02:18.07] Watcha gonna do when you're black and blue?
[02:21.11] Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do?
[02:23.96] Watcha gonna do when you're black and blue?
[02:30.99]
