Preachin' the Blues - Bessie Smith
Lyrics by：Bessie Smith
Composed by：Bessie Smith
Down in Atlanta
GA under the viaduct ev'ry day
Drinking corn and hollerin' hooray
Pianos playing till the break of day
But as I turned my head I loudly said
Preach 'em blues sing them blues
They certainly sound good to me
I've been in love for the last six months
And ain't done worrying yet
Moan'em blues holler them blues
Let me convert your soul
'Cause just a little spirit of the blues tonight
Let me tell you girls that your man ain't treating you right
Let me tell you I don't mean no wrong
I will learn you something if you listen to this song
I ain't here to try to save your soul just
Want to teach you how to save your good jelly roll
Going on down the line a little further now
There's many a poor woman down
Read on down to chapter nine
Woman must learn how to take their time
Read on down to chapter ten
Taking other women's men you are doing a sin
Sing'em sing'em sing them blues
Let me convert your soul
Now one one sister by the name of Sister Green
Jumped up and done a shimmy you ain't never seen
Sing'em sing'em sing them blues
Let me convert your soul
