Vaughan, Stevie Ray - Tin Pan Alley Lyrics






Went down to Tin Pan Alley
See what was going on
Things was too hot down there
Couldn't stay very long
Hey hey hey hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I heard a woman scream
Yeah and I peeped through the door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a
Lord with a two-by-four
Hey hey hey hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I heard a pistol shoot
Yeah and it was a .44
Somebody killed a crap shooter cause he didn't
Shake, rattle, and roll
Hey hey hey hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Killin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I saw a cop standing
With his hand on his gun
He said "this is a raid, boy

Nobody run"
Hey hey hey hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
Yeah they took me away from Alley
Lord they took me right back to the pen

    THE GREATEST blues guitar player of our generation. Got taken from us too soon.

  70. C.... N....

    I was so inspired by this song that I made a painting of it. I played it over and over while I painted while I attempted to capture the beauty. The song still can bring me to tears when I am in the place of it.

  71. A.... K....

    Tin pan...

  72. C.... R....

    Those who struggle with addiction truly understand We miss you SRV !!!!

  73. A.... -....

    The best every Stevy Ray Vaughn

  74. F.... M....

    A humble man, a true artist, a man who studied at the knees of the blues greats. Worked.

    F.... M....

    😡😠😜

  75. R.... W....

    If you ain't feeling that somthing is wrong with your feeler

  76. C.... G....

    Stevie had a style of his own! What a true legend, he could really play (pluck) the hell out of that guitar. His wardrobe, expressions and vib, all were in sync with his music. Hr was one bad ass cat.

  77. M.... S....

    I wasn't looking at the screen and I thought it was Eric Clapton at his best. Then I started to worry about why I, instinctively, am more attracted by other styles of guitar playing since this track is wonderful and moving. I knew Stevie Ray was a talented player, I knew his Hendrix's covers are my favourites but I didn't know he could also play Clapton style so efficiently. It's a pity he didn't find a way to reach the audience he deserved. Maybe he deserved simply to born few years sooner, maybe it's just destiny. Anyway a great track. Thanks for sharing.

  78. T.... N....

    Stevie, you'll never be forgotten... bist wieder in der Wurschtsupp, also im Texas Flood....

  79. C.... B....

    True friends miss that energy!Skynrd forever! Peace and LOVE!

    C.... B....

    Stevie has no match your the one Thanx Brother

  80. H.... S....

    So sorry he's gone untimely

  81. M.... J....

    This song is unintentionally hilarious, because Stevie Ray doesn't know what "Tin Pan Alley" means. He thinks it means something similar to "skid row," but it doesn't at all. Look it up on Wikipedia. Great guitar work though.

    M.... J....

    Very true! Not at all what the true Tin Pan Alley was! But this made for a great song.

  82. s.... ....

    für viele ist es Musik, für noch mehr viele , ist es voll geile, coole Musik, alle haben recht. Aber für mich ist es Magie, Zauberei - oh ja, Magie....

  83. J.... W....

    One of the best

  84. D.... G....

    This transports your mind to so many places and through so much emotion....I'm still recovering..

  85. P.... M....

  90. L.... N....

    la música de ahora no suena más así. Los músicos de ahora ya ni instrumentos tocan

  91. W.... J....
