INTRO SOLO

When I find a town, that'll satisfy my mind
When I find a town, that will satisfy my mind
Then you know that's where I will be, for a great long time

When I get to Atlanta, walk on Decatur Street
When I get to Atlanta, walk on Decatur Street
I'm gonna shimmy-she-wobble, with every fair brown I meet

I've got a woman named Miss Hattie, she lives on Fourteenth Street
I've got a woman named Miss Hattie, she lives on Fourteenth Street
Oh, and the way that woman love me, I swear she can't be beat

I done spent all of my money, my bank account run low
I done spent all of my money, my bank account run low
My woman had the nerve to tell me, "Daddy, aren't you spendin' slow?"

And my mama's dead, and my daddy is in the mine
And my mama's dead, and my daddy is in the mine
And I'm a motherless child, and I just can't keep from cryin'
