Wills mark squeeze box lyrics

(Monty Criswell/Michael White)

 

 I'm slippin' into Slidell, the boys and me

 Take a left at the Texaco, gonna see Sweet Marie

 She plays down at Jimbeaux's Gumbo and Washtub

 In calico and barefeet in a band called the Mudbugs

 I been workin' up my never and I can hardly

 Tonight when she asks for request

 I'll stand up and say

 

 I wanna be your squeeze box

 Always at your fingertips

 I wanna be your blues harp

 A little closer to your lips

 Let me be your washboard

 You can play me fast or slow

 Squeeze box, blues harp, washboard baby

 Anything you can hold

 

 Got a bucket full of crawfish, a seat on the front row

 Just to sit this close to her, it's like a shot of tabasco

 Makin' trips to the tip jar, keep it full of dollar bills

 Tonight I'm gonna go for broke, show her just how I feel

 One way or another, Lord, she's gonna notice me

 If I have to jump up on that stage and get down on my knees

 I'll be beggin her please

 

 Let me be your squeeze box

 Always at your fingertips

 I wanna be your blues harp

 A little closer to your lips

 Let me be your washboard

 You can play me fast or slow

 Squeeze box, blues harp, washboard baby

 Anything you can hold

 

 Squeeze box, blues harp, washboard, baby

 Anything you can hold
