Preachin' the Blues

Down in Atlanta, GA
 Under the viaduct ev'ry day
 Drinking corn and hollerin' hooray
 Pianos playing 'til 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
