[Verse 1]
[A]Com[D]e a[A]lon[D]g,
get you ready [G]Wear [D]your bran', bran' new gown
For there's gwine to be a meeting In that good,
good old [A]town
Where [D]you knowded everybody
And they all knowded you
And you've got a rabbit's foot
To keep away de hoo-doo.
[A]When[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]When you hear that
the preaching does begin
Bend down low for to drive [A]away your [C]sin
And when you gets religion,
you want to shout and sing
There'll be [G]a hot time in the [C]old [G]town tonig[C]ht,
My [D]baby[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]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 [G]hot time in the [F]old [G]town tonig[C]ht.

There'll be girls [D]for ev'ry [Bm]body[G]: In that [D]good,
good old town,
For there's Miss Consola Davis And
[A]there's Mis[D]s Gondolia Brown
And [G]there's Miss [D]Johanna
Beasly She am dressed all in red,
I just hugged her and I kissed her
And to me then [A]she [G]said:
[C]Please

[Verse 5]
oh please,
oh do not let me fall,
You're all [G]mine [C]and I
[F]love you be[G]st of all,
[C]And you must be my man,

There'll be [G]a hot[C][D][C]

My baby
