Black Bottom
In the shadow of the city
Where the sun don't shine
There's a constant struggle
Just to stay alive
Yeah the shots 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 singe trace
You talk about the Blues
People down there got 'em
Cause you ain't got a chance
If you down in Black Bottom
If you live in Black Bottom
You don' walk at night
Cause some cat might cut you
Just to spark a fight
You talk about the Blues
People down there got 'em
Cause you ain't got a chance
If you down in Black Bottom
solo
Ain't no good in Black Bottom
It's an evil place
Where a man can vanish
Without a singe trace
You talk about the Blues
People down there got 'em
Cause you ain't got a chance
If you down in Black Bottom
In the shadow of the city
Where the sun don't shine
There's a constant struggle
Just to stay alive
You talk about the Blues
People down there got 'em
Cause you ain't got a chance
If you down in Black Bottom
solo
Where the sun don't shine
There's a constant struggle
Just to stay alive
Yeah the shots 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 singe trace
You talk about the Blues
People down there got 'em
Cause you ain't got a chance
If you down in Black Bottom
If you live in Black Bottom
You don' walk at night
Cause some cat might cut you
Just to spark a fight
You talk about the Blues
People down there got 'em
Cause you ain't got a chance
If you down in Black Bottom
solo
Ain't no good in Black Bottom
It's an evil place
Where a man can vanish
Without a singe trace
You talk about the Blues
People down there got 'em
Cause you ain't got a chance
If you down in Black Bottom
In the shadow of the city
Where the sun don't shine
There's a constant struggle
Just to stay alive
You talk about the Blues
People down there got 'em
Cause you ain't got a chance
If you down in Black Bottom
solo
