South Nashville Blues

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 need to get me killedSouthside gals, they suit me just fine

Southside gals, they suit me just fine

As long as I got money they don't whineNow the devil lives on Lewis Street I swear

Yeah the devil lives on Lewis Street I swear

I seen him rockin' in his rockin' chairI start way up top of Lewis Street

I walk down to the end

I start way up top and I walk down to the end

I'm goin' way down in the bottoms

I come back up again
