A hot time in the old town (midi)<\/p>\n

G – Em – G – G – D – G<\/p>\n

G Em G<\/p>\n

1. Come along, get ready, wear your brand new gown,<\/p>\n

D G<\/p>\n

’cause there’s gonna be a meeting in this good, good old town,<\/p>\n

Em G<\/p>\n

when you know everybody, and they all know you,<\/p>\n

D G<\/p>\n

and you get a rabbit’s foot to keep away them hoo-doos.<\/p>\n

G<\/p>\n

When you hear that the preaching has begun,<\/p>\n

then they’ll know how to drive away your sin.<\/p>\n

When you get religion, you will want to shout and sing<\/p>\n

D D7 G D<\/p>\n

there’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight, my baby.<\/p>\n

G<\/p>\n

When you hear them bells go ding-a-ling,<\/p>\n

all join ’round and sweetly you must sing,<\/p>\n

when the birds sound to and the chorus will all join in,<\/p>\n

D D7 G <\/p>\n

there’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight.<\/p>\n

G – Em – G – G – D – G<\/p>\n

G Em G<\/p>\n

2. There’ll be girls for everybody in this good, good old town,<\/p>\n

D G<\/p>\n

with Miss Gonzola Davis and Miss Godula Brown.<\/p>\n

G Em G<\/p>\n

There’s Miss Henrietta Beezer an’ she’s all dressed in red.<\/p>\n

D G<\/p>\n

I just up and kissed her and to me then she said:<\/p>\n

G<\/p>\n

Oh please, oh please, oh do not let me fall,<\/p>\n

you are mine and I love you best of all.<\/p>\n

You’ll be my man, or I’ll have no man at all,<\/p>\n

D D7 G <\/p>\n

there’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight.<\/p>\n

+ D + repeat last 4 lines<\/p>\n
