Straight Down The Line - Robbie Robertson[00:00:00]
From the Chitlin' Circuit to the Peppermint Lounge[00:00:22]
Been run off more than once for goin' underground[00:00:27]
Where I met an old blues-man with a walking cane[00:00:31]
He wore a stripe suit and used someone else's name[00:00:36]
He said Son I've seen it all[00:00:41]
And it's not what you think[00:00:44]
He said There's some tough choices to be made[00:00:50]
Then he took a little drink and I heard him say[00:00:53]
I do not play no rock and roll[00:01:00]
Would not be moved to sell my soul[00:01:05]
The demons are out tonight[00:01:09]
Rock you sinners[00:01:13]
Whoa the demons are out tonight[00:01:18]
Roll you sinners[00:01:22]
Straight down the line[00:01:25]
Passed an old church on my way back East[00:01:28]
Heard a gospel choir singing of war and peace[00:01:32]
I was deeply moved so I stepped inside[00:01:37]
I just stood in the back where I could easily hide[00:01:42]
A woman in a black robe stood up[00:01:46]
And pointed me out[00:01:50]
She said Hallelu Hallelu Lord[00:01:56]
Then she began to shout this is what she said[00:02:01]
I do not play no rock and roll[00:02:06]
Would not be moved to sell my soul[00:02:10]
The demons are out tonight[00:02:15]
Rock you sinners[00:02:18]
Oh the demons are out tonight[00:02:23]
Roll you sinners[00:02:28]
Straight down the line[00:02:30]
Now he could croon a tune as good as anyone[00:02:52]
And if he sings a song then that song's been sung[00:02:57]
Some things got tradition some shine like new[00:03:02]
Some things you can't change no matter what you do[00:03:06]
He said My friend I've done it all[00:03:11]
Either for love or money[00:03:16]
And if I laugh at your jokes[00:03:21]
Oh that means his jokes are funny[00:03:25]
And one more thing[00:03:28]
I do not play no rock and roll[00:03:30]
Would not be moved to sell my soul[00:03:35]
The demons are out tonight[00:03:39]
Rock you sinners[00:03:43]
Oh the demons are out tonight[00:03:48]
Roll you sinners[00:03:52]
Straight down the line[00:03:55]
