"Blues for Mister Charlie " was the title of a 1964 play by author James Baldwin, and " Mister Charlie " was the title of a song whose first verse went like this : " I take a little powder / I take a little salt / I put it in my shotgun / and I go walking out / Chuba-chuba / Wooley-booley / Looking high / Looking low / Gonna scare you up and shoot you / Cause Mr . Charlie told me so . . ."
