Hey uncle louie, I wrote you a song

In the middle of summer

Rose like smoke from the room

The heat and the bourbon was in your head

And last call never came

You can hold her hand

You can kiss her face

Go slow if you can

And the world will still be there

The sky is colored in purple and yellow
Bb majorBb
You lie on the levee with stones for pillows

And you and the girl and the city make love
Bb majorBb
With the harlequin sky up above
