They both talked ‘til they turned blue
I had everything I needed to get me killed
I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
Now Southside gals, they suit me just fine
Now mama told me, papa too
I start way up top and I walk down to the end
Yeah, he Devil lives on Lewis Street, I swear
As long as I got money they don't whine
Southside gals, they suit me just fine
But I got them ol' South Nashville blues again
I start way up top of Lewis Street
And I walk down to the end
And I come back up again
I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
I go way down in the bottoms
I seen him rockin' in his rockin' chair
I ended up out walkin' in the rain
Now the Devil lives on Lewis Street, I swear
