Black Bottom / Omar & the Howlers
In the shadow of the city
where the sun don't shine
Where it's a constant
struggle just to stay alive
You hear a shot ring out
Somebody else has died
Ain't no good in Black Bottom
It's an evil place Where a man
Can vanish Without a single trace.
Talk about the blues
People down there got 'em'
Cause you ain't gotta chance
If you're down in Black
Bottom. If you live in Black Bottom
You don't walk at night. '
Cause some cat might cut you
Just to spark a fight.
You Talk about the blues
People down there got 'em
'Cause you ain't gotta chance
If you're down in Black Bottom
