Naptown Blues Songtext
von Leroy Carr

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 cry 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 anyplace I know, I know
I would rather be in Naptown than anyplace I know, know
I can get me a ticket and stop by the Walker show, show

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