Leroy Carr — Naptown Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Nobody knows old Naptown: baby like I do If you will stop and listen: I will tell you a thing or two
When you get lonesome: and want to have some fun
You just grab a train: and try old Naptown some
When you get to Naptown: the blues won’t last very long
Because they have their pleasure: and they sure do carry
on I would rather be in Naptown: than any place I know
I can get me a ticket: and stop by the *Walter* show
I’m going back to Naptown: baby don’t you want to go Because there ain’t nobody: knows old Naptown like I know
