Snowed In - Albert Collins

Last winter I was in Chicago and the weather was awfully bad
Last winter I was in Chicago and the weather was awfully bad
They say I was stuck in China Town for the worst winter they ever had
I'm gonna go on right here
And see if I can get this truck started right quick
These old shoes ain't ready for the winter
Oh I'm 'bout to fall an' break my neck here in a minute buddy
See if I can get this key in this door here
I know it don't lock it lock it done froze up on me an'
Lock it won't act right it already half-tore up anyhow
Yeah I got it now I'm gon get here an' try to crank this old thing
An' pat the accelerator a little bit
Yeah I almost got it
Pat the accelerator a little bit more
It's cold that wind just whistlin' out there
Oh it sure cold weather out here
You get frostbite out here
Try it one more time
Ya'all it ain't gonna start
Yeah I don't mind a little snow an' I can handle rain
I say I don't mind a little snow an' I can handle a little rain
Now I don't mind bein' cold but this winter man it's sure insane
If I go now hit this old gas station
I think I can get me somebody to
Walk on down the street here 'bout a block
See if I can get somebody to give me a boost off here an' get my battery charged
Oh man this stuff is in a mess here
I'm gonna fall break my neck
Oh get on by man I'm gonna get out your way I'm in the street
I'm tryin' to walk here ya'all runnin' these d**n trucks an' cars an' goin' on
Come on by man
Oh man the station is done closed
Now the gas station was closed and the snow was eight feet tall
Now the gas station had closed hm and the snow was eight feet tall
The telephone cable was down an' you couldn't even make a call
You couldn't go out for groceries hm nobody would deliver to you
I said you couldn't go out for groceries nobody would deliver to you
In a bad situation like that what in the hell ya'all what-a I'm suppose to do
Yeah it's a tough winter I tell ya
I go back out here one more time an' see if I get this thing started right here
Old battery might be done be at the level I might get it started now
Besides I'm about to fall
Man I'm gonna tell ya I'm a whew
Rough rough here in Chicago
Wanna get on back across that desert in Los Angeles somewhere
Florida somewhere
If I can get outta here I know I'm snowed in
Try to crank this d**n thing one more time
I think I can get it to crank I hope so
Let me see if I can get it cranked
Pat the accelerator a little bit
Might get it started now
Oh yes I got that thing together now boy
She's kickin' now
Yeah
Yeah will let her get warmed up
Hey
