Righteous Blues Lyrics

Hi, There are a few parts of Blind Arthur Blake’s Righteous Blues where I cannot decipher the words. I would appreciate it if any one can offer any suggestions. I have listed the lyrics as I hear them below: Listen every body I’m gonna sing a song It won’t be dirty and it won’t be long O it’s righteous O it’s righteous It’s righteous Righteous Lord Lord Lord When you want some Whisky right ??????? Go up an see Miss ??????? She was righteous It’s righteous An it’s righteous Righteous Lord Lord Lord The girls from the ally (slipped a note around?) [Or is it ‘The girls from the ally sleeping all around’] Telling every body they’re leaving town It’s righteous O it’s righteous An it’s righteous Righteous Lord Lord Lord I’ve got a Yalla gal and a brown named ????? But the best I’ve ever had was my ol' Crow Jane She’s righteous I mean she was righteous She’s righteous Righteous Lord Lord Lord Met a funny fella he didn’t like girls Painted his face and wear his hair all curls He’s righteous O he’s righteous An he righteous Righteous Lord Lord Lord I was friends with a woman about 52 I thought she was too old I’m telling you But she’s righteous She was righteous And she was righteous Righteous Lord Lord Lord
