Lyrics
I went downtown just to ease my pain
I went downtown just to ease my pain
I ended up out walking in the rain
I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
I had everything I need to get me killed
Now the Southside girls, they suit me just fine
The Southside girls, they suit me just fine
As long as I got money they don't whine
(That's important)
Now the devil lives on Blue Street, I swear
He lives right down on Blue Street, I swear
I seen him rocking in his rocking chair
I saw him way up top of Blue Street
And I walked down to him
I saw him way up top, I walked down to him
I go way down in the bottoms, I come back up again
My mama told me, papa too
The devil talk till they turn blue
But I got them old South Nashville blues again
I can't be satisfied until they lock me up again
