There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight

Lyrics

Come along, get ready, wear your bran', bran' new gown
 For there's going to be a meeting in this good, good old town
 When you know everybody and they all know you
 And you've got a rabbit's foot to keep away them hoo-doo
 When you hear that the preaching has began
 Bend down low for to drive away your sin
 When you get religion, you'll want to shout and sing
 There'll be a hot time in old town tonight, my baby
 When you hear them bells go ding-a-ling
 All join 'round and sweetly you must sing
 When the verse aim through in the chorus we'll all join in
 There'll be a hot time in old town tonight
 ♪
 There'll be girls for everybody in this good, good old town
 There's Miss Consola Davis and Miss Gondolia Brown
 There's Miss Johanna Beasly and she's all dressed in red
 I just hugged and I kissed her and to me then she said
 Please oh please, oh do not let me fall
 You're all mine and I love you best of all
 You be my man, or I'll have no man at all
 There'll be a hot time in old town tonight, my baby
 When you hear them bells go ding-a-ling
 All join around and sweetly you must sing
 When the verse aim through in the chorus we'll all join in
 There'll be a hot time in old town tonight
