Now Bensenville is a train yard over in Chicago
And the bumpers y`all well that`s just the coupling between the freight cars
And Cali is California that`s wah that mean
And the choke picker that someone who picks artichokes
Now you got the story y`all

Do you hear St. Louis Slim lost a leg
Just outside Bensenville
For some damn reason he was riding on the bumpers
Actin like a young man will

And now the last we spoke he was going down to Memphis
Said he got himself a girl
Said he goin queer, riding these here rails
Give himself back to the world

But me i`m going downt to Cali
I believe thats we're I first met him?
So boy lets put our coins together
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim

Well
Awlright

I hear the looking for choke pickers out in Watsonville
Your welcome to tag along
And maybe someday when i`m old and grey
I'll write this shit down in a song

But in the meantime i`m going out to Cali
I believe that where I first met him
So boy lets put our coins together
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim

You remember him

You remember him

But in the meantime i`m going out to Cali
I believe thats we're I first met him?
So boy lets put our coins together
And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim

And drink our bottles to St. Louis Slim

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim

And drink a bottle to St. Louis Slim

And drink a bottle to St. Louis

One bottle to St. Louis

One bottle to St. Louis Slim
