Dick Curless - Coastline Charlie Lyrics



Dick Curless - Coastline Charlie Lyrics




It's hard for me to remember back but I think they named me Charlie Black
The doctor said I'd die but I lived somehow
Now I've changed my name but not my luck the Black is gone but Charlie's stuck
Coastline Charlie is what they call me now

I was hatched in Tennessee but that didn't mean a thing to me
Soon as I could walk I aimed it south
I thumb my way to New Orleans to try my luck with the Cajun queens
Coastline Charlie is what they call me now

Coastline Charlie is my name at least that's how they pegged me
And I wouldn't change it back again even if the good Lord begged me
The only place I can be found is on the courtin' side of a Portland town
Coastline Charlie is what they call me now
[ guitar ]
Yes you could say I'm the rowdy sort I got pet in every port
And I'll do anything that time allows
Up and down to coastal line up and down them many a time
Coastline Charlie is what they call me now

Now when I die please humor me and take my body out to see
And drop me in as close law allows
Cause by and by the tide might bring me in to shore for one more fling
And Coastline Charlie is what they call me now
