Ramon Taranco: Kick Back n Listen
Spirit of Muddy Waters
(Ramon Taranco)
Well there's thirteen black cats/ in the alley/ Well there's thirteen black cats/ looking up at me/ And when I open my window in the nightime/ let their eyes shine on me...and...../ The spirit of Muddy Waters/ keeps me searchin' and searchin'/ The spirit of Muddy Waters keeps me sane/ I hear footsteps in the hotel hallway/ I hear footsteps outside my little room/ There's a loud knocking at my doorway/ Sounds like bad luck and blues....and...../ The spirit of Muddy Waters/ keeps me searchin' and searchin'/ The spirit of Muddy Waters keeps me sane/ All I have is my yellow and black rider/ to keep me from the cold and rain/ and if you think that's enough baby, baby/ You've lost your mind maybe, maybe/ When I get up in the morning/ Won't you hand down my walking cane/ Cause I hear my train a comin'/ I'm gonna take this road a runnin' to/ The spirit of Muddy Waters/ keeps me searchin' and searchin'/ The spirit of Muddy Waters keeps me sane.
