A Hot Time in the Old Town lyrics

Come along get you ready wear your bran, bran new gown

For dere's gwine to be a meeting in that good, good old town

Where you knowded ev'ry body, and dey all knowded you

And you've got a rabbits foot to keep away de hoodo

When you hear that the preaching does begin

Bend down low for to drive away your sin

And when you gets religion, You want to shout and sing

There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight, my baby

When you hear dem a bells go ding, ling ling

All join 'round, and sweetly you must sing

And when the verse am through, in the chorus all join in

There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight

There'll be girls for ev'ry body in that good, good old town

For dere's Miss Consola Davis an dere's Miss Gondolia Brown

And dere's Miss Johanna Beasly she am dressed all in red

I just hugged her and I kissed her and to me than she said:

Please oh, please, oh, do not let me fall

You're all mine and I love you best of all

And you must be my man, or I'll have no man at all

There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight, my baby

When you hear dem a bells go ding, ling ling

All join 'round, and sweetly you must sing

And when the verse am through, in the chorus all join in

There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight
