Lonnie Johnson

Lonnie Johnson - Tin Can Alley Blues (1927) lyrics

Drink another half a pint and a good, cool can of beer! [spoken words, Lonnie Johnson]

Oh, kick it, Mister Man! Kick it! [spoken words, Lonnie Johnson]

We're all down in tin can alley! [spoken words, Lonnie Johnson]

I was down in tin can alley, loaded down with that bust-head gin.

I was down in tan can alley, loaded down with that bust-head gin.

The police took me to the jailhouse, I got out and come right back again.

I like old tin can alley, I even like old tin can jail.

I like old tin can alley, I even like old tin can jail.

Still they treat me like a dog, with a tin can tied onto my tail.
