New Orleans Hop Scop Blues (78rpm Version)

Baby Have Pity on Me - Bessie Smith

Old New Orleans is a great big old southern town where hospitality you will surely find

The population there is very very fair with ev'rything they do

White folks do it too they have a dance surely it's something rare there

Glide slide prance dance hop stop

Take it easy honey

Hmm

I can never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues

Once more you glide slide prance dance

The Hop Scop Blues will make you do a lovely shake

They'll make you feel so grand when you join hand in hand

I'll never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues

Once more you glide slide prance I said dance oh hop now stop

Take it easy honey

Oh

I can never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues

Look out now

You glide slide I said prance dance

Hop Scop Blues will make you do a lovely shake

They'll make you feel so grand when you join hand in hand

I'll never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues
