Lyrics Ballad of Brother Lew - Mu

Ballad of Brother Lew

Well I stepped off of the subway down on Forty-fifth and Vine
Say you seen my brother I hear he’s doin' fine
She said he’s in the hotel gettin' his shoes done shined
She said he’s in the hotel gettin' his shoes done shined
Take a taxi in the mornin' Take a taxi down to Stormy’s
Say there’s been a fight at the hotel
My brother’s got a knife in his side
Blue cloudy Lew in the moonlight, a pink charade in my mind
I said blue cloudy Lew in the moonlight, a pink charade in my mind
Let, let me on the inside, he that’s my brother in there
But when I got it, I found him in a pool, sorry son your brother just died
Ooh, better get your shoes tied
And don’t put on your galoshes boy, it ain’t rainin' outside
Don’t put on your galoshes boy, it ain’t rainin' outside
Ooh
