Never Go West - Seasick Steve

Yeah, it was a cold black night

Oh, I remember it well

We was ridin' in the box

Lord it be cold as hell

Tryin to get over the hump

Before it snow

Body could freeze to death

No one ever know

We was headin' west

Just to go south

About this plan

Well, I had my doubts

Slim said he wanted first stop

Out in Spokaloo

Said he knew a pretty little thing

And I think her name was Lou

Oh I had a bad feelin'

Well, we rolled into town

We was walkin' down the street

Oh, I knew somethin' wrong

I could feel the heat

Up come the police

Said «welcome to our town

Hop in the back seat, boys

Gon' show you ‘round»

Never ever go west

When you know you should be headin' south

Never ever whisper

When you know it’s time to shout

Fourteen days in the Spokane city jail

When I got out, have mercy

I was ready to sail

Captain said, «you learned your lesson, boy?»

Have no doubt

Never ever go west

When you know you should be headin'

Never ever go west

When you know you should be headin' south

Never ever whisper

When you know it’s time to shout

Never ever go west

When you know you should be headin' south

Never ever whisper

When you know it’s time to shout
