U.S. Blues (Live at Alexandra Palace, London, September 10, 1974) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Red and white, blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Give me five, I'm still alive
Ain't no luck, learned to duck
Check my pulse, it don't change
Stay seventy-two come shine or rain
Wave the flag, pop the bag
Rock the boat, skin the goat
[Chorus]
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
[Verse 2]
I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am
Been hiding out in a rock and roll band
Shake the hand that shook the hand
Of P.T. Barnum, and Charlie Chan
Light the fuse, shine your shoes
Can you usе them old U.S. Blues
Drink your health, sharе your wealth
Run your life, steal your wife
[Chorus]
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
Red and white, blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Give me five, I'm still alive
Ain't no luck, learned to duck
Check my pulse, it don't change
Stay seventy-two come shine or rain
Wave the flag, pop the bag
Rock the boat, skin the goat
[Chorus]
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
[Verse 2]
I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am
Been hiding out in a rock and roll band
Shake the hand that shook the hand
Of P.T. Barnum, and Charlie Chan
Light the fuse, shine your shoes
Can you usе them old U.S. Blues
Drink your health, sharе your wealth
Run your life, steal your wife
[Chorus]
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Back to back, chicken shack
Son of a gun, better change your act
We're all confused, what's to lose?
You can call this song the United States Blues
[Chorus]
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
[Outro]
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
(My, my, my, my, oh my, oh my, my)
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
(Thank you, all. Good night.) Bye-bye
[Verse 3]

We're all confused, what's to lose?

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
[Outro]
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
(My, my, my, my, oh my, oh my, my)
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
