Southside Story - John Mayall Lyrics - 70th Birthday Concert - John Mayall

Southside Story (John Mayall 2002) 

The Band was jumpin'- hot as hell 

Everybody felt allright 

Little Walter took the stand 

And a blue note cut the night 

In the hot red smokie light 

As the music to control 

Wouldn't ya know it? Some pretty woman 

Felt the music touch her soul 

She cried 

Please won't you play 

your blues harmonica 

Please won't you play 

Blow my blues away 

He sang it's hard to be allone 

Sleeping by youself 

The one you love far away 

Lovin' someone else 

There's a train comin'on 

Everybody's got to go 

A little rain in every heart 

And a wolf at every door 

Please won't you play 

that blue harmonica 

Little Walter blowing hot 

Like a southern wind 

People dancin'- sweet romancin' 

As night came to an end 

He packed it up hit the streets 

As they cut the neonlight 

Headed down to the darkness 

Of the cold Chicago night
