South Nashville

I went downtown, it was just to ease my pain

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 took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill

I had everything I needed to get me killed

Now the South side girls, they suit me just fine

South side girls, they suit me just fine

As long as I got money they don't whine

That's important you know

The devil lives on Lewis Street I swear

He lives right down 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

And I'm go way down in the bottoms [Incomprehensible]

And I come back up again

Now, Mama told me, Papa too

They both talked ââ‚¬Ëœtil they turned blue

But I got them ol' South Nashville blues again

I can't be satisfied until they lock me up again
