| Down in Atlanta, GA, under the viaduct ev’ry day, drinking corn and hollerin' |
| hooray |
| Pianos playing till the break of day |
| But as I turned my head, I loudly said, «Preach 'em blues, sing them blues» |
| They certainly sound good to me |
| I’ve been in love for the last six months and ain’t done worrying yet |
| Moan’em blues, holler them blues |
| Let me convert your soul |
| 'Cause just a little spirit of the blues tonight |
| Let me tell you, girls, that your man ain’t treating you right |
| Let me tell you I don’t mean no wrong |
| I will learn you something if you listen to this song |
| I ain’t here to try to save your soul, just want to teach you how to save your |
| good jelly roll |
| Going on down the line a little further now |
| There’s many a poor woman down |
| Read on down to chapter nine |
| Woman must learn how to take their time |
| Read on down to chapter ten |
| Taking other women’s men, you are doing a sin |
| Sing’em, sing’em, sing them blues |
| Let me convert your soul |
| Now one sister by the name of Sister Green |
| Jumped up and done a shimmy you ain’t never seen |
| Sing’em, sing’em, sing them blues |
| Let me convert your soul |
