NUMBER 9

9 Janvier 2017

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine

I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine"

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night

I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine

NUMBER NINE TRAIN
(Alden Bunn)
TARHEEL SLIM (FURY 1016, 1959)

[Chorus]
Number nine, number nine
Took my baby up the line
Number nine, number nine
Took my baby up the line
When I hear that lonesome whistle
Lord, I just can't help from cryin'

My baby left early one morning
She didn't even say goodbye
Everytime I hear that whistle
Tears fall from my eyes

[Chorus]

At night I wake up screamin'
My pillow's soakin' wet
I keep hearin' that lonesome whistle
I can not forget
I'm walkin' around in circles
I don't know what to do
I'm so broken hearted
I'm so doggone blue

[Chorus]

Gonna work hard every day
Gonna save up all my pay
I'm goin' to the railroad station
And get on my way

[Chorus]

Blow, blow lonesome whistle
I gotta find that gal of mine
