Down on Atlanta on Harris Street That's where the boys and gals do meet Out in the alley in the street Every little kid that you meet Buzz all around like a bee Shake it like a ship on the sea Came all the way from Paris France Come into Atlanta to get a chance Grab your mama and hold her tight Let's mess around the rest of the night Grip your head way up high Grab your daddy and make him cry People come from miles around Get in Dark Town to break them down Down in dark town night and day Trying to dance them blues away Go all the way back to Newport News Singing these doggone Atlanta blues
