Liberty Street

He came from the old religion,
 But possessed no magic skill
 Descending from machinery,
 He left nothing in his will,
 The crops are failing, the women wailin',
 It's in the papers at your feet
 Six months in Kansas City,
 Down on Liberty Street
 ♪
 It was sad to see it, that little lady goin' in
 Arrested for arson once they asked where she'd been
 Down on her knees, not even a breeze,
 Another victim of the heat
 Six months in Kansas City,
 Down on Liberty Street
 ♪
 Things sure don't look too pretty!
 Cause a man to rob and steal,
 I got a full six more months out here
 Can't be begging for my meals
 Now, look here, Baby Snooks,
 Don't matter what you got underneath your seat
 Six months in Kansas City,
 Down on Liberty Street
