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
