I just blew back in town 

So I thought I'd hang around 

I ain't got nothin' else to do 

Don't see a soul I know 

This street done took it's toll 

Got them ol' lower Broad St. Blues 



The cops are sellin' souvenirs from cruisers 

The tourists send up roses to the losers 

Now all they wanna do is be ol' buckaroo 

Got them ol' lower Broad St. Blues 



Now some blew all their pay 

And some were blown away 

But they all blew their hillbilly lids 

Dancers all limp home 

The street lets out a groane 

And the whineo's are all snug under the bridge 

Somewhere in the alley, in the corner of my eye 

The ghost of Scotty Stoneman drinkin' Bluetail Fly 



A message from the past, your next might be your last 

Got them ol' lower Broad St Blues 

Got them ol' lower Broad St Blues
