Down on Atlanta : on Harris Street
That's where the boys and gals : do meet
Out in the alley : in the street
Every little kid : that you meet
Buzz all around : like a bee
Shake it : like a ship on the sea
Came all the way : from Paris France
Come into Atlanta : to get a chance
Grab your mama : and hold her tight
Let's mess around : the rest of the night
Grip your head : way up high
Grab your daddy : and make him cry
People come : from miles around
Get in Dark Town : to break them down
Down in dark town : night and day
Trying to dance : them blues away
Go all the way back : to Newport News
Singing : these doggone Atlanta blues
