about

An opportunity for me to play some slide on the Shark Guitar, as well as some banging around on the electronic drum kit. Great fun :-) The Howlin' Wolf influence is obvious and intentional.

lyrics

I Saw Death at the ATM
(© 2016 Walter Ehresman)

I saw Death at the ATM,
starin’ up at me with that rictus grin;
I swear it made my blood run thin,
‘cause when you’re gone ain’t comin’ back again.


I saw Death at the ice cream store—
he wasn’t near as happy as he was before;
Every drippin’ spoonful ended up on the floor—
and Death was howlin.


I saw Death in a police car;
I kinda got the notion that I wouldn’t get far;
He pulled out his pistol and he lit a big cigar,
and Death was howlin’.
