Folks, I know you all have heard the blues,
But this is what you likely never knew,
And in that city, Tennessee,
Every night about half past three,
The women down there pays out the shivaree.


Down in Nashville Tennessee,
Down in Nashville Tennessee,
Women down there, they does the shivaree.


If you go down there, you have no time to lose,
Just go up town and buy new pair of shoes.
Folks down there they drinks a lots of booze.
You can suggest what you choose,
I have got those Nashville women's blues.


Down there, they strut their stuff,
Down there, they strut their stuff,
The way they strut, it really ain't no bluff!


You can say what you choose,
I have got those Nashville women's blues.
