Parole de la chanson There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight par Bessie Smith
Come along, get ready, wear your bran’, bran’ new gown
For there’s going to be a meeting in this good, good old town
When you know everybody and they all know you
And you’ve got a rabbit’s foot to keep away them hoo-doo
When you hear that the preaching has began
Bend down low for to drive away your sin
When you get religion, you’ll want to shout and sing
There’ll be a hot time in old town tonight, my baby
When you hear them bells go ding-a-ling
All join ’round and sweetly you must sing
When the verse aim through in the chorus we’ll all join in
There’ll be a hot time in old town tonight
♪
There’ll be girls for everybody in this good, good old town
There’s Miss Consola Davis and Miss Gondolia Brown
There’s Miss Johanna Beasly and she’s all dressed in red
I just hugged and I kissed her and to me then she said
Please oh please, oh do not let me fall
You’re all mine and I love you best of all
You be my man, or I’ll have no man at all
There’ll be a hot time in old town tonight, my baby
When you hear them bells go ding-a-ling
All join around and sweetly you must sing
When the verse aim through in the chorus we’ll all join in
There’ll be a hot time in old town tonight
