We used to have luck in the valley

But the little girl had to move way out of town

We used to have luck in the valley

But the girl had to move way out of town

Some moved in the alley

Ooo-well-well, because Third Street is going down

I had a girl on St. Louis Avenue

But Third Street she hung around

I had a girl on St. Louis Avenue

But Third Street she hung around

But the law got so hot

Ooo-well-well, until Third Street is going down

I waked up one mornin'

My face all full of frowns

Waked up one mornin'

My face all full of frowns

I heard nothin' about my baby

Ooo-well-well, Third Street is goin' down

(piano

'Play it, let her hear it now'

'Tore down highway sounds'

(piano continues)

The city hired Mr. Keeler

To put a highway through that part of town

I said, the city hired Mr. Keeler

To put a highway through that part of town

The law told the girls to move

Ooo-well-well, why because we’re tearing Third Street down
