In the shadow of the city where the sun don't shine
|
Where it's a constant struggle just to stay alive
|
You hear a shot ring out,
|
somebody else has died
|
Ain't no good in Black Bottom,
|
it's an evil place
|
Where a man can vanish,
|
without a single trace
|
Talk about the blues,
|
people down there got ¢¥em
|
'Cause you ain't gotta chance,
|
if you're down in Black Bottom
|
If you live in Black Bottom,
|
you don't walk at night
|
'Cause some cat might cut you,
|
just to spark a fight
|
Talk about the blues,
|
people down there got ¢¥em
|
'Cause you ain't gotta chance,
|
if you're down in Black Bottom
|
