Soft Pedal Blues - Bessie Smith Charlie Green Fred Longshaw

There s a lady in our neighbourhood

Who runs a buffet flat

And when she gives a party

She knows just what she s at

You give a dance

Say Friday night

That was to last till one

But when the time was almost up

The fun had just begun

But she walks into the room

And yells to the crowd

Have all the fun

Ladies and gentlemen

But don t make it too loud

Oh play it Mr Leader Man

Play it all night long

I like the words and music

You give in a song

How it moans away

It s nearly break of day

Early in the morn

So put that soft pedal on

I m drunk and full of fun yahoo

Go and spread the news

Cause I ve got them soft pedallin blues

Early in the morn

So put that soft pedal on

I m drunk and full of fun yahoo

Go and spread the news

Cause I ve got these soft pedallin blues

Early in the morning yahoo

I ve got these soft pedallin blues
