[Verse 1]
Down in Atlanta, GA
Under the viaduct ev'ry day
Drinkin' corn and hollerin' hooray
Piano playin' 'til the break of day
But as I turned my head
I loudly said

[Chorus]
"Oh, preach dem blues, sing dem blues
They certainly sound good to me"

[Verse 2]
I've been in love for the last six months
And I ain't done worryin' yet
Ooh-ooh, moan dem blues, holler them blues
Let me convert your soul
'Cause just a little spirit of the blues tonight
Let me tell you, girl, if your man ain't treatin' you right

[Chorus]
C'mon and preach dem blues, sing dem blues
They certainly sound good to me

[Saxophone Solo]
[Chorus]
C'mon and preach dem blues, sing dem blues
They certainly sound good to me

[Verse 2]
I've been in love for the last six months
And I ain't done worryin' yet
Oh-oh, moan dem blues, holler dem blues
Let me convert your soul
'Cause just a little spirit of the blues tonight
Let me tell you, girl, if your man ain't treatin' you right

[Chorus]
C'mon and sing 'em, sing 'em, sing dem blues
Whoa-oh, let me convert your soul
Oh, yeah
