Have You Ever Been To Nashville Pen?

by Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon

on Songs of Memphis Slim and "Wee Willie" Dixon (1960)

Have you ever been to Nashville
Have you ever been to Nashville
Have you ever been to Nashville
Oh Lordy the Nashville pen

Boy if you don't quit your stealing
Boy if you don't quit your stealing
Boy if you don't stop your stealing
Oh Lordy, you're going back again

My woman ain't nothin
My woman ain't nothin
My woman ain't nothin
Oh lordy but skin and bone

Well, my first hundred dollar
Well, my first hundred dollar
Well, my first hundred dollar
Oh Lordy hot spring she's gone

Yonder come our burden
Yonder come our burden
Yonder come our burden
Oh Lordy, how in the world do you know

I can tell from the apron
I can tell from the apron
I can tell from the apron
Oh Lordy, the dress she wore
The dress she wore
