Rolling Stones - Exile On Mainstreet Blues Lyrics
(jagger/richards)Exile on mainstreet, its a strange street to walk downExile on mainstreet, its a strange street to walk down[all down the line]Mmm heard the diesel drumming all down the lineMmm heard the wires a-humming all down the lineOh, yeah heard the women sighing all down the lineOh, yeah heard the children crying all down the lineAll down the line well be watching out for trouble, yeah[tumbling dice]Women think Im tastyBut theyre always trying to waste meAnd make me burn the candle right downBut baby, baby I dont need no jewels in my frowncause all you women is low down gamblersCheating like I dont know howBut baby theres a fever in the funk house nowThis low down *****ings got my poor feet a-itchingDo you know the deuce is still wildBaby cant stay, you got to roll meAnd call me the tumbling dice[intro]Exile on mainstreet, its a strange street to walk downNow let it loose, now come on, let it all hang downEh round up those people, move them out of townGimmie little drink from your loving cupNow shake your hip mama, keep me all shook upFeeling so doggone happy like a natural childOh help me do the boogie all down the lineCome on virginia, lets shoot some diceMy sweet black angel, shine a light[shine a light]Saw you stretched out in room ten o nineWith a smile on your face and a tear right in your eyeCouldnt see to get a line on you, my sweet honey loveBerber, jewelry jangling down the streetMaking bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meetCome out baby to get a high on you, my sweet honey loveMay the good lord shine a light on youMake every song you sing your favorite tuneMay the good lord shine a light on youWarm like the evening sun.Well youre drunk in the alley baby...[happy]Never kept a dollar past sunsetIt always burned a hole in my pantsNever made a school mama happy,Never blew a second chanceI need a love to keep me happy,I need a love to keep me happyBaby baby keep me happy,Baby keep me happyAlways took candy from strangers,Didnt want to get me no tradeNever want to be like papa,Working for the boss every night and dayI need a love to keep me happy,I need a love to keep me happyBaby baby keep me happy,Baby baby keep me happy[outro]Exile on mainstreet, its a strange street to walk downExile on mainstreet, its a low down dirty ground.
