Ballad of Brother Lew - Mu

Well I stepped off of the subway down on Forty-fifth and Vine

Say you seen my brother I hear he’s doin' fine

She said he’s in the hotel gettin' his shoes done shined

She said he’s in the hotel gettin' his shoes done shined

Take a taxi in the mornin' Take a taxi down to Stormy’s

Say there’s been a fight at the hotel

My brother’s got a knife in his side

Blue cloudy Lew in the moonlight, a pink charade in my mind

I said blue cloudy Lew in the moonlight, a pink charade in my mind

Let, let me on the inside, he that’s my brother in there

But when I got it, I found him in a pool, sorry son your brother just died

Ooh, better get your shoes tied

And don’t put on your galoshes boy, it ain’t rainin' outside

Don’t put on your galoshes boy, it ain’t rainin' outside

Ooh
