I was going downtown    Just the other day to meet my mates    They said I'll meet you down    Down in that mean old burying ground    I can shack my rattle    Rattle my bones    Just don't lay down before you're done    You can rag momma rag    You can't help it if it's not your bag    Down in the St.Louis cemetary    Got the St. Louis cemetary blues    We shall walk through the valley    Walk through the valley soon    We shall talk with the spirits    Talk with the spirits soon    Even Jesus himself shall be our leader    And you can rag momma rag    You can't help it if it's not your bag    Down at the St. Loius cemetary    Got the St. Louis cemetary blues
