Текст песни Bessie Smith — New Orleans Hop Scop Blues

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!

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!

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
