Black Bottom lyrics

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
