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 needed to get me killed Southside girls They suit me just fine 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 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'm going 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
