Willy DeVille

Willy DeVille (August 25, 1950 – August 6, 2009) was an American singer and songwriter. During his thirty-five-year career, first with his band Mink DeVille (1974–1986) and later on his own, Deville created original songs rooted in traditional American musical styles. He worked with collaborators from across the spectrum of contemporary music, including Jack Nitzsche, Doc Pomus, Dr. John, Mark Knopfler, Allen Toussaint, and Eddie Bo. Latin rhythms, blues riffs, doo-wop, Cajun music, strains of French cabaret, and echoes of early-1960s uptown soul can be heard in DeVille's work. more »

My, my

I'm sick as I could be

Some people call me a junker
'Cause I'm loaded all the time
I just feel happy
And I feel good all the time

Some people say I use a needle
And some say I sniff cocaine
But that's the best old feelin'
That I'd ever seen

Say, good-bye, good-bye to whiskey
Lord, and so long to gin
I just want my refer
I just wanna feel high, again

Oh yeah, I'm a junker!

I feel alright

Some people, some people
Crave for chicken
And some crave for porterhouse steak
But when I get loaded
Lord, I won't want my milk and cake

Oh yeah, that's all I want, now

They call me a junker'

'Cause I'm loaded all the time

But that mean nothin' if I feel good all the time.
