LOUIS ARMSTRONG'S BROKEN
HEART
I know a place where the whistle blows
And the brakeman falls aprt
It's a pocket watch and bloody nose
It's Louis Armstrong's broken heart
It's Louis Armstrong's broken heart
Down the alley up in Birmingham
Man the southern girls are smart
It's one to take the money,
one to count the money
It's Louis Armstrong's broken heart
It's Louis Armstrong's broken heart
Bridge:
You should've seen her dance
with that old frenchman
Just as pretty as you please
Ah the dirty jokes too blue to mention
And she could drink you to your knees
Every night but one, by god,
she came on home with me
You should've seen her dance
with that old frenchman
Just as pretty as you please
There's a poolroom down in Mobile
Where they'll pay you for your car
And it's nine balls in a diamond
It's Louis Armstrong's broken heart
It's Louis Armstrong's broken heart
Well the cat scratched
at the gate latch
It's a lucky Man Trailer Park
She was the best thing about Alabama
She's Louis Armstrong's broken heart
She's Louis Armstrong's broken heart
