Waits, Tom - Hang On St. Christopher Lyrics
Hang on st. christopher through the smoke
and the oil
Buckle down the rumble seat
let the radiator boil
got an overhead downshift
got an 85 cabin
on an 85 hill
Hang on st. christopher on the passenger side
open it up tonight the devil can ride
hang on st. christopher with a barrel house dog
kick me up mt. baldy
throw me out in the fog
tear a hole in the jack pot
drive a stake through his heart
do a 100 on the grapevine
hang on st. christopher now don't let me go
get me to reno and bring it in low, yeah
hang on st. christopher with the hammer to the floor
put a hi ball in the crank case
nail a crow to the door
get a bottle for the jockey
gimme a 294
there's a 750 norton bustin down january's door
hang on st. christopher on the passenger side
open it up tonight the devil can ride
hang on st. christopher now don't let me go
get to me reno got to bring it in low
put my baby on the flat car
got to burn down the caboose
get 'em all jacked up on whiskey
then we'll turn the mad dog loose
hang on st. christopher on the passenger side
open it up tonight the devil can ride

Waits, Tom Hang On St. Christopher Comments
Get me to Reno...
Nail a crow to the door
man their is a lot goin on.
The bass is sick on this on the right system. It will liquify your insides
Kick me up mt. Baldy
Throw me out in the fog.
Frickin legend, that Tom.
I want to Knight Tom Waits!!
Remember all the really old interviews where they used to snub and question his character??
Flakes they ALL were...
Vengeance is mine.......Saith the Lord!
Open it up at night... I love this song. First album I purchased. For a kid, how lucky was I?
poker face original....
lady gaga has done a pretty good cover on this song ....
FREAKING INSANE TRAKC ... HAIL TOM WAITS THE USA KING
PURE genius!
Hang on St. Christopher through the smoke and the oil
Buckle down the rumble seat and let the radiator boil
Got an overhead downshift and a two-dollar grill
Got an eighty-five cabin on an eighty-five hill
Hang on St. Christopher on the passenger side
Open it up tonight the devil can ride
Hang on St. Christopher with a barrelhouse dog
Kick me up Mount Baldy, throw me out in the fog
Tear a hole in the jackpot, drive a stake through his heart
Do a hundred on the grapevine, do a jump on the start
Hang on St. Christopher now don't let me go
Get me to Reno and bring it in low, yeah
Hang on St. Christopher with the hammer to the floor
Put a highball in the crank case, nail a crow to the door
Get a bottle for the jockey gimme a two-ninety-four
There's a seven-fifty Norton bustin' down January's door
Hang on St. Christopher on the passenger side
Open it up tonight the devil can ride
Hang on St. Christopher now don't let me go
Get me to Reno got to bring it in low
Put my baby on the flat car, got to burn down the caboose
Get 'em all jacked up on whiskey, then we'll turn the mad dog loose
Hang on St. Christopher on the passenger side
Open it up tonight the devil can ride, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Simply impossible to conjure!!
Best song ever!!! Bravo Tom Waits you fuckin HERO of an Artist. Check out Bob Dylan Tangled Up in Blue Live where he has some kind of white makeup on his face. Rage Against the Machine, The Red Hot Chili Peppers Deep Kick. Bob Mould Silver Age and The B52's. Sonic Youth. Quadrophenia. Yes Vangelis.
We are the illuminate. Remember that we are but "the friends" of Mr. Cairo.
Cairo The Great.
Thank god the Bullet Boys improved this song drastically
@Ball Zach yes... youtube comment sections are no place for opinions
Sez you dumbass
@NoiseSpektrum ..no place for stupidity either
@pretorious700 without stupidity...youtube would not exist.
Yes a copy , a fake a forgery.....what band was that.....see you later poser
"Get me to Reno, got to bring it in low."
RIP Ralph Carney, longtime collaborator with Waits on sax.
I'm ashamed to admit I thought this was a BulletBoys original song for the longest time.
that sucks
Man this guy!
BulletBoys did a cover of this song!
xoxo The Clarences
A damn good cover, at that!
Yes indeed, Thomas! xoxo The Clarences
This is just the best driving song!... if you got pulled over you'd just calmly say "Officer if I may, by way of explanation play you a few bars of tonight's soundtrack..." and after that BASS kicks in I'd be surprised if even the most bad day cop would give you more than a warning. (P.S. - I live in CANADA.)
Best album for me.
Love this song.
the finest album of one of the greatest
Just about my favorite Tom Waits song.
I love the song "Downtown". Not downtown train. The video is available, you just gotta look for it. It's worth the trouble.
Downtown is a fantastic song. He has some gems in the rough as he passes through nearly every genre and style. I personally like his heavy blues songs. Wrong side of the road is my favorite it is quite insane yet smooth af
My favorite Tom Waits song, is always the last one which I heard.
Mine too, but then again, it´s nor difficult to tell which one is best
check Clap Hands
Brilliant song...
Can't fux with it.
when I was in the hole in prison the guard played this for a week straight till we all went insane and sung along......good times to my mental health
well if you must go to seg.....
Could have been worse. Much worse.
At least it is dancable, NiloNutz. Depending on one's erspective "Down in the Hole" might be way better or worse. I swear, that man has a song for every occasion.
That sucks
I like how the album cover looks like some 1940s folk singer
riding shotgun on a long drive home late at night after a session just wot we needed
this one is from the cd Frank's wild years, so yes, for what I know this is the original version. I agree with you, extraordinary song.
Mookie says Now the Devil can ride!
theres a 750 norton busting down january's door
Nice post...I always pretend I'm in a taxi when I hear this (you know, St. Christopher for travelling mercies)
