Here ya go, Helmut…

Tommy Detamore intro on “St. Olav’s Gate” written by Tom Russell , performed by Doug Sahm. Click HERE for the audio.

Drinking black market vodka in the back of the Scotsman's saloon
Then it's red meat and whiskey like a coyote drunk on the moon
Outside in Oslo the buskers all sing the same tune
And it's Waltzin' Matilda while the bagpipes play old Clair de Lune

She was a lady, she came down from Bergen she said
She spoke little English, they laughed and drank whiskey instead
In the mornin' he found it... a rose with a note on his plate
It said, "Meet me at midnight on the corner of St. Olav's Gate"

[Chorus:]
Here's to the ladies you love and don't see again
The night is warm whiskey... the mornin's a cold bitter wind
The blue eyed madonna leaves town while the drunken man waits
Leaves him standing alone in the shadows of St. Olav's Gate

Tommy’s solo to follow.
