Charley Bostock's Blues - C.W. Stoneking

Charley Bostocks liked drinkin'

And stayin' out all night long

Charley bostocks liked drinkin'

And stayin' out all night long

Yes, but now Charley Bostocks, he is dead and gone

His woman said «Stop your drinkin'

Soon I will have your child

His woman said «Stop your drinkin'

Soon I will have your child

He told everybody she didn’t want him, never told the reason why

Charley liked drinkin' at the Railway

Never meant no one no harm

Charley liked drinkin' at the Railway

Never meant no one no harm

You know poor Charley Bostocks died, with a needle hangin' in his arm

I was down at the graveyard

When the people was standin' round cryin'

I was down at the graveyard

When the people was standin' round cryin'

Charley Bostocks woman by my side, and his friends wouldn’t pay her no mind
