Lyrics Charley Bostock's Blues - C.W. Stoneking

Charley Bostock's Blues

Charley Bostocks liked drinkin'
And stayin' out all night long
Charley bostocks liked drinkin'
And stayin' out all night long
Yes, but now Charley Bostocks, he is dead and gone
His woman said «Stop your drinkin'
Soon I will have your child
His woman said «Stop your drinkin'
Soon I will have your child
He told everybody she didn’t want him, never told the reason why
Charley liked drinkin' at the Railway
Never meant no one no harm
Charley liked drinkin' at the Railway
Never meant no one no harm
You know poor Charley Bostocks died, with a needle hangin' in his arm
I was down at the graveyard
When the people was standin' round cryin'
I was down at the graveyard
When the people was standin' round cryin'
Charley Bostocks woman by my side, and his friends wouldn’t pay her no mind
