Born of the river Born of its ever-changing, never-changing murky water Oh riverboat just rollin´ along through the great great greasy city
Huck standing like a Saint, upon its deck If ya wanna catch a Saint Then bait ya hook, let´s take a walk...
´O come to me!, O come to me!´ is what the dirty city Say to Huck... HUCK Woah-woah, woah woah! Woah-woah, woah woah! Saint Huck! Huck!
Straight in the arms of the city goes Huck Down the beckonin´ streets of opportunity Whistling his favorite river-song... And a bad-blind nigga at the piano Buts a sinister blooo lilt into that sing-a-long Huck senses something´s wrong! Sirens wail in the city
And lil-Ulysses turn to putty And Ol´ Man River´s got a bone to pick! And our boy´s hardly got a bone to suck!
He go, woah-woah, woah woah! Woah-woah, woah woah! Saint Huck! Huck!
The mo-o-o-on, its huge cycloptic eye Watches the city streets contract Twist and cripple and crack Saint Huck goes on a dog´s-leg now Saint Huck goes on a dog´s-leg now You know the story! Ya wake up one morning and you find you´re a thug Blowing smoke rings in some dive Ya fingers hot and itching, ya cracking ya knuckles
Ya bull neck bristling... Still Huck he ventures on whistling And Death reckons Huckleberry´s time is up
O woah woah woah! Saint Huck! O woah woah woah! Saint Huck! Huck!
Yonder go Huck, minus pocket-watch an´ wallet gone Skin shrink-wraps his skeleton No wonder he gets thinner, what with his cold´n´skinny dinners! Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis, Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis O you recall the song ya used to sing-a-long Shifting the river-trade on that ol´ steamer
Life is but a dream! But ya traded in the Mighty ol´ man River For the Dirty ol´ Man Latrine! The brothel shift The hustle´n´the bustle and the green-backs rustle And all the sexy-cash And the randy-cars And the two dollar fucks O o o ya outta luck, ya outta luck
Woah-woah-woah-woah Saint Huck! Huck!
This is the track of deception Leads to the heart of despair Huck whistles like he just don´t care But in the pocket of the jacket is a chamber
Lead pellets sleeps in there Wake Up! Now Huck whistles and he kneels And he lays down there See ya Huck, good luck A smoke ring hovers above his head And the rats and the dogs and the men all come And put a bullet through his eye And the drip and the drip and the drip of the Mississippi cryin´ And Saint Huck hears his own Mississippi just rollin´ by him Woah-woah-
Woah-woah Woah-woah-woah-woah Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Woah-woah-woah-woah Woah-woah-woah-woah
Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Woah-woah-woah-woah
