Lyrics New Orleans Hop Scot Blues - Bessie Smith

New Orleans Hop Scot Blues

Old New Orleans is a great big old southern town, where hospitality you will
surely find
The population there is very, very fair, with ev’rything they do White folks do it too, they have a dance surely it’s something rare there
Glide, slide, prance, dance, hop, stop
Take it easy honey!
Hmm
I can never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues
Once more you glide, slide, prance, dance
The Hop Scop Blues will make you do a lovely shake
They’ll make you feel so grand when you join hand in hand,
I’ll never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues
Once more you glide, slide, prance, I said dance, oh, hop, now stop
Take it easy honey!
Oh I can never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues
Look out now!
You glide, slide, I said prance, dance
Hop Scop Blues will make you do a lovely shake
They’ll make you feel so grand when you join hand in hand,
I’ll never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues
