Song: 6 -6 -7 -6 -7 -6 -7 -6
He came from the old religion
6 -6 6 6 -6 -6 6
But possessed no magic skill
6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 -7 -6
Descending from machinery
6 6 -6 6 -6 -6 -6
He left nothing in his will
6 -6 -7 -7 -6
The crops are failing
6 -6 -7 -7 6
The women wailing
6 6 -6 -7 -6 6 -6 6
It’s in the paper at your feet
6 6 6 -7 -6 -6 6
Six months in Kansas City
6 -6 -7 -6 6 6
Down on Liberty Street

It was sad to see it
That little lady going in
Arrested for arson
Once they’d asked her 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
It doesn’t matter what books
You keep underneath your seat
Six months in Kansas City
Down on Liberty Street
