Dockside Blues

Dockside Blues Verse 1 There's a little place down by the water, Where the old dock meets the bay, You can hear that harp start calling Before you see the lights that way. Friday night those doors swing open, And the whole damn week cuts loose, Come on down, we'll save you a place at Dockside, to drown your Blues. Chorus Come on down to the Dockside, Come on down tonight, There's a hot band in the corner And the whole room's feeling right. Let that old harp holler, Let that six-string tell the truth, Come on down to the Dockside— We'll play those blues right outta you. Verse 2 Old Jack's sitting by the window, Same chair he's had for years, There's a girl out dancing barefoot Like she ain't got any cares. There's a stranger at the bar rail, Hasn't said a word all night, But his foot starts keeping time And pretty soon he's feeling right. Chorus Come on down to the Dockside, Come on down tonight, There's a hot band in the corner And the whole room's feeling right. Let that old harp holler, Let that six-string tell the truth, Come on down to the Dockside— We'll play those blues right outta you. Bridge Sunshine high above the harbour, Rain keeps falling underneath, Ain't we all a little like that— More than what the whole world sees? You don't have to tell your story, You don't have to tell us why, Let that old harp do the talking, Let the six-string make reply. Final Chorus Come on down to the Dockside, Come on down tonight, There's a hot band in the corner And the whole room's feeling right. Let that old harp holler, Let that six-string tell the truth, Come on down to the Dockside— We'll play those blues right outta you. Rain falling on the harbour, But we're dancing underneath... Come on down to the Dockside— And get yourself some blues.
