A hot time in the old town       (midi)

 

    G - Em - G       - G - D - G

 

                 G             Em                        G

1. Come along, get ready, wear your brand new gown,

                            D                                         G

   'cause there's gonna be a meeting in this good, good old town,

                                       Em                   G

    when you know everybody, and they all know you,

                    D                                         G

    and you get a rabbit's foot to keep away them hoo-doos.

 

         G

    When you hear that the preaching has begun,

 

    then they'll know how to drive away your sin.

 

    When you get religion, you will want to shout and sing

                         D                    D7             G                 D

    there'll be a hot time in the old town tonight, my baby.

 

         G

    When you hear them bells go ding-a-ling,

 

    all join 'round and sweetly you must sing,

 

    when the birds sound to and the chorus will all join in,

                         D                    D7             G      

    there'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.

 

    G - Em - G    - G - D - G

 

                       G                 Em                 G

2. There'll be girls for everybody in this good, good old town,

                            D                               G

    with Miss Gonzola Davis and Miss Godula Brown.

                            G           Em                      G

    There's Miss Henrietta Beezer an' she's all dressed in red.

        D                                          G

    I just up and kissed her and to me then she said:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

              G

    Oh please, oh please, oh do not let me fall,

 

    you are mine and I love you best of all.

 

    You'll be my man, or I'll have no man at all,

                         D                    D7             G      

    there'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.

 

+ D + repeat last 4 lines
