South Nashville Blues Lyrics

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 Southside gals, they suit me just fine Southside gals, they suit me just fine As long as I got money they don't whine
Now the Devil lives on Lewis Street, I swear Yeah, he 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
