lyrics
Chicago undercover, wrote me a hefty fine
when they caught me lightnin' up, 'neath a nonsmoking sign
but the toughest police force, the worst cops I ever did see
were them redneck pigs, way down south, down in Memphis, TN
Chorus
Memphis Police, Memphis Police
When will this brutality cease,
Once yer caught you don't get released
By the Memphis Police, they’re disturbin' our peace
Got the NYPD blues, when I was traveling there
Don't toke up, whatever you do,
when you're chillin' in Washington Square
The cops act tough, but fair enough, the judge gave a slap on the wrist
In retrospect compared to these rednecks,
its a place that I sure have missed
Chorus
I was locked up in San Quentin, and at Folsom I did my time
Got stuck in Lodi, CA, tryin' to make a dime
Lived in tent city, under Maricopa Sheriff Joe
Still I'm tellin' you people that Shelby County
ain't a place you ever wanna go
Chorus

Super CD, I like especially that tune “Nobody knows you when you are down and out“, which I so far had “in my ear“ in the interpretation of Eric Clapton. This one here is also wondetful!
Great CD! Werner Rohlfs
