Maxwell Street

Will you tell me mister

How did I end up here?

Oh, won't you tell me mister

How did I end up here?

I got a dollar for my trouble

And nothing for may fear

Oh, won't you tell me mister preacher

How did I end up this way?

Oh, won't you tell me mister preacher

How did I end up this way?

So cold and hungry down on Maxwell

And the blues tear came to stay

Well they told me I remember

This new life would be so cool

Oh, they told me I remember

This new life would be so cool

Now I'm standing here on Maxwell

Feeling like the biggest fool

Oh, my cousin caught the Greyhound

And my best friend jumped a train

Yeah, my cousin caught the Greyhound

Yeah, my best friend jumped a train

Now if I ever pull a big one

Maxwell won't see my face again

Oh maxwell

If I ever pull a big one

No you won't see my face again
