Now Bensenville is a train yard over in Chicago |
| [00:05.38] |
And the bumpers y'all well that's just a couple in-between the freight cars |
| [00:11.32] |
And Calay is California that's wah I mean |
| [00:15.01] |
And the choke picker that song picks artichokes |
| [00:18.98] |

| [00:24.32] |
Do you hear St Louis slim lost a leg |
| [00:28.50] |
Just outside Bensenville |
| [00:35.62] |
For some damn reason he was riding on the bumpers |
| [00:40.45] |
Actin like a young man who will |
| [00:47.28] |
And now the last we spoke he was going down to Memphis |
| [00:52.36] |
Said he got himself a girl |
| [00:59.63] |
Said i'm gonna quit riding these here rails |
| [01:04.15] |
Give himself back to the world |
