Stool Pidgeon Blues Lyrics


Good Lord, just let me live 'til tomorrow,
I'm gonna send you another prayer
This is taped
Yes, 'til tomorrow,
This black man gonna send you another prayer
You know, sometimes I begin to wonder,
What in the world am I doin' over here?
You don't love me no more, baby,
And I can't see the reason why
You don't love me no more, baby,
Po' Lightnin' can't see the reason why
You know, I never told you no story,
If you don't understand that,
And I never have told you a lie
Yeah, the birds was singin',
And the wind begin to blow

Yeah, the birds was singin',
You know, the wind begin to blow
You know when a pigeon joined in and went to singin',
I never heard such a sweet voice before
You know a pigeon mean more than one that fly in the air?
It can be a stool pigeon, you know that's, you know what that is?
One that sit on a stool and pimp to the law
That is a pigeon
I want everybody understand me so they know,
I just done give up and I ain't gonna try,
To live they life no more,
No, no more
You know, I ain't gonna find no heaven here,
Now, no place on earth I go

Sam Hopkins was born on March 15, 1912 in Centerville, Texas. In 1920, at the age of eight, Hopkins met and played with the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson, even becoming Jefferson's guide for a short time. Hopkins' cousin, the great bluesman, Texas Alexander, was another influence. Their musical partnership was broken up by Hopkins' time in Houston's County Prison Farm during the 1930s. When Hopkins made his way to Houston's Third Ward in 1946 he was introduced to Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout who had pieced together deals with companies such as Aladdin Records out of Los Angeles.
