Lyrics

Down in Atlanta G A
Under the viaduct every day
Drinkin' corn and howlin' "Hurray!"
Piano's playin' till the break of day;
But as I turned my head
I loudly said;
Preach therm blues
Sing them blues
They certainly sound good to me!
I've been in love for the past six months
And I ain't done worryin' yet!
Moan them blues
Holler them blues
Let me convert your soul!
'Cause just a little spirit of the blues tonight;
Let me tell you girls that your man ain't treating you right!
Let me tell you, I don't mean no wrong
I will learn you somethin' if you listen to this song!
I ain't here to try to save your soul
Just want to teach you how to save your good jelly roll!
Goin' on down the line a little further now
There's a-many a poor woman down;
Read on down to chapter nine
Women must learn how to take their time!
Read on down to chapter ten
Takin' other women's men, you are doin' a sin!
Sing 'em, sing 'em, sing them blues
Let me convert your soul!
Now one sister by the name of Sister Green
Jumped up and done a shimmy you ain't never seen!
Sing 'em, sing 'em, sing them blues
Let me convert your soul!
