Lyrics
Black Bottom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
