Junker's Blues Lyrics by Champion Jack Dupree
(from the album New Orleans Barrelhouse Boogie)
'My, my'
'I'm sick as I could be'
Some people call me a junker
'Cause I'm loaded all the time
I just feel happy
And I feel good all the time
Some people say I use a needle
And some say I sniff cocaine
But that's the best old feelin'
That I'd ever seen
Say, good-bye, good-bye to whiskey
Lord, and so long to gin
I just want my refer
I just wanna feel high, again
(guitar & instrumental)
'Oh yeah, I'm a junker!)
'I feel alright'
(sax, piano & instrumental)
Some people, some people
Crave for chicken
And some crave for porterhouse steak
But when I get loaded
Lord, I won't want my milk and cake
'Oh yeah, that's all I want, now'
'They call me a junker'
'Cause I'm loaded all the time'
'But that mean nothin' if I feel good all the time'.
