MISTER CHARLIE
(Lyrics : Robert Hunter / Music : Ron McKernan)
The Grateful Dead
I take a little powder
I take a little salt
I put it in my shotgun
and I go walking out
Chuba-chuba
Wooley-booley
Looking high
Looking low
Gonna scare you up and shoot you
Cause Mr. Charlie told me so
I won't take you life
Won't even take a limb
Just unload my shotgun
and take a little skin
Chuba-chuba
Wooley-booley
Looking high
Looking low
Gonna scare you up and shoot you
Cause Mr. Charlie told me so
Well you take a silver dollar
Take a silver dime
Mix em both together
in some alligator wine
I can hear the drums
Voo-doo all night long
Mr. Charlie tellin me
I can't do nothin wrong
Chuba-chuba
Wooley-booley
Looking high
Looking low
Gonna scare you up and shoot you
Cause Mr. Charlie told me so
Now Mr. Charlie told me
Thought you'd like to know
Give you a little warning
before I let you go
Chuba-chuba
Wooley-booley
Lookin high
Lookin low
Gonna scare you up and shoot you
Cause Mr. Charlie told me so
