I've done a lot of travellin', seen a lot of pretty faces. |
|
I've sung my way out blues songs in extraordinary places. |
|
I come from 17th |
|
Street and that's on the other side of town, an' if you see me wit' my brothers don'cha dare go no further you know we gonna get down, down, down. |
|
Some people think |
|
I'm crazy, they say gil, "it mus' be in yo' mind." |
|
They tell me "there jus' ain' no sane reazon the way yawl get down ev'ry time." (I trytatellemthat): "I come from 17th Street an' that's where the brothers don' mess around" and if you lookin' for the music an' we find out you can use it you know we gonna get down, down, down. |
|
If you lookin' for excitement you may need only look next door because the brothers from 17th |
|
Street they don't all live there anymore. |
|
Some done moved to |
|
Harlem an' |
|
Some moved way uptown, but if you thinkin' bout the |
|
Spirit an' you want to get near it c'mon, c'mon an' get down, down, down. |
