Naptown Blues Songtext
von Leroy Carr & Scrapper Blackwell

Nobody knows old Naptown, baby, like I do, do
Nobody knows old Naptown, baby, like I do, do
If you will stop and listen, I will tell you a thing or two, two

When you get lonesome, and want to have some fun, fun
When you get lonesome, and want to have some fun, fun
You just grab a train, and try old Naptown some, some


When you get to Naptown, the blues won′t last very long, long
When you get to Naptown, the blues won't last very long, long
Because they have their pleasure, and they sure do carry on, on

I would rather be in Naptown than any place I know, I know
I would rather be in Naptown than any place I know, know
I can get me a ticket, and stop by the Walter show, show

I′m going back to Naptown, baby, don't you want to go? Go?
I'm going back to Naptown, baby, don′t you want to go? Go
Because there ain′t nobody, knows old Naptown like I know, know
