Mexican Mouthwash Blues Band

Riley Lincoln

West Palm Beach FL

August 2012

It was a stormy Austin Saturday night

  When I decided to hang my life

On an old Fender guitar, life looked bright

  I was gonna start pickin' at the

Evil Monkey saloon, a blues club down on Fifth

  I was going to do my blues riff

I was gonna put rock and roll

  Back into the blues

With my old Fender

  There was nothing I couldn't do

That old guitar knew the blues

Say, give me and the band double shots

  Of that "Mexican Mouthwash" booze

After all, I'm wearing Carl's old blue suede shoes

The blues singer...she was real good

  She wasn't a good looker

She was a broken down hooker

  She was down in jail

And I just went her bail

  This band really knows the blues

One of them wasn't wearing any shoes

Set up me and the band with doubles

  Of that "Mexican Mouthwash" booze

I'm still wearing Carl's old blue suede shoes

  Oh, that band could play the blues

Hey, set me and the band up a few more

  Of that "Mexican Mouthwash" booze

                 I have the blues

The drummer had a wooden pirate's leg

  At times he would rear back

And beat the drums with his wooden leg

  It was better than a Lone Star keg

The crowd would go wild

  He was a blues child

I love those blues

Set me and the band up a few more

  Of that "Mexican Mouthwash" booze

'Cause I love the blues

The piano player pounded the keys so hard

  That they flew up in the air

And would land in the lard

  The lard was for makin' Mexican refried beans

A big blue haze hung over the scene

            I love those blues

Set me and the band up a few more

  Of that"Mexican Mouthwash" booze

I want me and the band to play the blues

The horn player didn't have any lips

  He would gum that horn

He was a natural-born

  Blues won't ne blues without his horn

They called him "Lips"

         Oh how I  love the blues

Say barkeep, set me and the band up with more

  Of that "Mexican Mouthwash" booze

            I love the blues

I got ready to take the stafge with my Fender

  I was on a real bender

I put my gloves on, knew the Fender

  Was gonna get hot and turn to cinder

We played every blues song in life's folder

  At exactly 3:00 we all tipped over

THE GREAT "MEXICAN MOUTHWASH" BLUES BAND
