Lavern Baker — Preaching the Blues lyrics

Lyrics

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, if your man ain’t treating you right
C’mon and Preach 'em blues, sing them blues
They certainly sound good to me
C’mon and 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, if your man ain’t treating you right
C’mon and sing’em, sing’em, singe them blues
Oh let come convert your soul
Oh, Yeah
