barrelhouse music - mildred bailey lyrics

Loading...

down in alabama, in the revenue mountains
laughing water comes out of strange fountains
and when the evenin’ sun goes down
come ease on down to barrelhouse town

there’s a dim*lighted tavern
known as mammy’s rest
folks down in ‘bam will tell you
that it’s mammy’s place that they love best

there’s a sweet tone piano
worn by many thumbs
and there’s a fellow that plays it
that uses his pedal for drums

if you come down to birmingham
with nary a place to go
fond a man called cactus sam
tell him you wanna go barrelhouse
that’s all he needs to know

bе there for supper
or a platе of barbecue
and this, along with the music
will make a barrelhouse man of you
what i mean is
you’ll have that lowdown feelin’ too
if you find yourself in birmingham
without a place to go
come on down to my house
make a palette on the floor

i’ll have you meet some southern gal
they’re gentle sweet and kind
there, words for your music
and music for your mind

let’s go barrelhouse
let’s go barrelhouse
let’s go barrelhouse
all night long
