South Nashville Blues

I Went Downtown, It Was Just To Ease My Pain
I Ended Up Out Walkin' In The Rain

I Took My Pistol And A Hundred Dollar Bill
I Had Everything I Needed To Get Me Killed

Southside Girls, They Suit Me Just Fine
As Long As I Got Money They Don't Whine

The Devil Lives On Lewis Street I Swear
I Seen Him Rockin' In His Rockin' Chair

I Start Way Up Top Of Lewis Street
And I Walk Down To The End
I Start Way Up Top And I Walk Down To The End
I Go Way Down In The Bottoms

And I Come Back Up Again

Now Mama Told Me, Papa Too
They Both Talked 'Til They Turned Blue
But I Got Them Ol' South Nashville Blues Again
I Won't Be Satisfied Until They Lock Me Up Again
