Mr. Charlie (Live at Wembley Empire Pool, London, April 8, 1972)

Robert Hunter, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan

[Verse 1]
I take a little powder, take a little salt
Put it in my shotgun, and I go walkin' out

[Chorus]
Jubba jubba (Jubba jubba), wooly bully (Wooly bully)
Looking high (Looking high), looking low (Looking low)
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me so

[Verse 2]
I won't even take your life, won't even take a limb
I just unload my shotgun, take a little skin

[Chorus]
Jubba jubba (Jubba jubba), wooly bully (Wooly bully)
Looking high (Looking high), looking low (Looking low)
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me so

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Yeah, you take a silver dollar, take a silver dime
Mix it up together in some alligator wine
I can hear the drums, voodoo on my lawn
Mister Charlie tellin' me, I can't do nothin' wrong

[Chorus]
Jubba jubba (Jubba jubba), wooly bully (Wooly bully)
Looking high (Looking high), looking low (Looking low)
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me so

[Verse 4]
I'll givе you a little warning, just before I go
Just saw Mistеr Charlie told me, you know he told me so

[Chorus]
Jubba jubba (Jubba jubba), wooly bully (Wooly bully)
Looking high (Looking high), looking low (Looking low)
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me so

[Outro]
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me
Mister Charlie told me so

Thank you

Best show on Earth, soon as we get all tuned up
