Songtexte Soft Pedal Blues - Bessie Smith

There's a lady in our neighborhood
Who runs a buffet flat
And when she gives a party
She knows just what she's at
She give a dance every Friday night
That was to last 'til one

But when the time was almost up
The fun had just begun
But she walks into the room
And yells to the crowd
Have all the fun, ladies and gentlemen
But don't make it too loud

Oh, play it Mister leader man, play it all night long
I like the words and music you give in a song
How it moans away
It's nearly break of day

Early in the morn'
So put that soft pedal on
I'm drunk and full of fun, ya-hoo!
Go and spread the news
'Cause I've got them soft pedallin' blues

Early in the morn'
So put that soft pedal on
I'm drunk and full of fun, ya-hoo!
Go and spread the news
'Cause I've got these soft pedallin' blues

Early in the mornin', ya-hoo!
I've got these soft pedallin' blues
