Slim Greer went to heaven
St. Peter said
“You been a good right boy, Slim
But now yous dead”
“Been a travelin' rascal
In your day
You can roam once more
Then you come to stay”
“So put these wings on your shoulders
And save your feet”
Slim spoke up and said
“Thank you, Pete”
Then Peter said
“Go to hell and see
All that they’re doin'
Tell it back to me”
“But be sure to remember
How everything goes”
Slim said
“I'll see you on the late watch, boy”
So he got to covortin’
Swell as you choose
Like Lindy in the spirit
Of the St. Louis bluеs
