Green Line Blues
(Larry Taylor/Bonni McKeown)
May 31, 2004
From Larry's CD They Were in This House
Riding on the Chicago "L" train, trying to find your honey. The Green Line takes you to the West and South Side.
1. Standing on the platform, at 20 after nine
Try to call my baby, I hope she’s doing fine,
I just want to see my honey,
I hope that she’s still mine.
2.Riding over Lake Street, at 20 after ten,
Try to call my honey, but she be gone again
Haven’t had no loving, since I don’t know when.
3.Walking down the dark street, at 20 after two,
My baby, she don’t answer, I got the Green Line blues
Maybe she don’t think I love her, But I do.
Sitting here alone
I got the Green Line Blues (echo: Green Line Blues)
