lyrics

Black Bottom

CHORUS:

Come on, get it. Come on, come on, get it, get it... 2X

Come on, get it. Come on, get it...

Ya’ll come on down here and getchya some!



Goin’ back to Black Bottom where the sun never shines

And it’s always a good time to have a good time.

Don’t bother hollerin’ to 9-1-1.

The cops all know about us. Hell, the comes all come

To see Miss Loretta and her girls at the door.

One look at them honies, gotta see some more.

Invite you in with the enticin’ grin,

Paper cup o’ corn liquor, and the promise of sin, sangin’:

CHORUS



I had a gig at Black Bottom a-ticklin’ the keys

Didn’t make much money, but I did what I pleased.

Ya bet I miss Miss Loretta and everthing that we done

But love foiled all our fun.

Come the man Jimmy James a-callin’ me out,

Wanna marry Miss Loretta, hear him holler and shout.

Holler leg full o’ liquor, a nose full toot,

And now he pull a peacemaker out his snakeskin boot and sangin’:

CHORUS 2X



Out went the lights. I went for the gun.

That’s when the killin’ begun.

Girls runnin’ and screamin’, men cussin’ and cryin’,

Bullets whizzin’ and flyin’.

Rollin’ and tumblin’ and thangs gettin’ rough.

Heard Miss Loretta holler: “Boys, enough is enough!

“Imagine me,” she said brandishin’ twin pistols,

“Some broke-ass-musicman’s Mrs.!”

Muzzles flashin’, blood on the floor.

Heard her tell Miss Katie: “Girl, bar the door!”

Then, she shot the piana, lit the curtains a far,

And now I sang while Jimmy James picks the devil’s guitar:

CHORUS
