I was going downtown Just the other day to meet my mates They said I'll meet you down Down in that mean old burying ground I can shack my rattle Rattle my bones Just don't lay down before you're done You can rag momma rag You can't help it if it's not your bag Down in the St.Louis cemetery Got the St. Louis cemetery blues We shall walk through the valley Walk through the valley soon We shall talk with the spirits Talk with the spirits soon Even Jesus himself shall be our leader And you can rag momma rag You can't help it if it's not your bag Down at the St. Louis cemetery Got the St. Louis cemetery blues
