Lyrics
Come along, get you ready Wear your bran', bran' new gown For there's gwine to be a meeting In that good, good old town Where you knowded everybody And they all knowded you And you've got a rabbit's foot To keep away de hoo-doo 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 there's Miss Consola Davis And there's Miss Gondolia Brown And there's Miss Johanna Beasly She am dressed all in red I just hugged her 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 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
