Lyrics Nashville Woman's Blues - Bessie Smith

Folks I know, you all have heard the blues
But this is what you likely never knew
And in that city, Tennessee
Every night about half past three
The women down there pays out the shivaree

Down in Nashville Tennessee
Down in Nashville Tennessee
Women down there, they does the shivaree

If you go down there, you have no time to lose
Just go up town and buy new pair of shoes
Folks down there they drinks a lots of booze
You can suggest what you choose
I have got those Nashville women's blues

Down there, they strut their stuff
Down there, they strut their stuff
The way they strut, it really ain't no bluff

You can say what you choose
I have got those Nashville women's blues
