[verse1] Come along, get ready Wear your bran', bran' new gown For there's going to be a meeting In this good, good old town When you know everybody And they all know you And you've got a rabbit's foot To keep away them hoo-doo [chorus1] When you hear that the preaching has began Bend down low for to drive away your sin When you get religion You'll want to shout and sing There'll be a hot time in old town tonight My baby When you hear them bells go ding-a-ling All join 'round and sweetly you must sing When the verse aim through In the chorus we'll all join in There'll be a hot time in old town tonight [trombone solo] [verse2] There'll be girls for everybody In this good, good old town There's Miss Consola Davis And Miss Gondolia Brown There's Miss Johanna Beasly And she's all dressed in red I just hugged and I kissed her And to me then she said [chorus2] Please oh please, oh do not let me fall You're all mine and I love you best of all You be my man, or I'll have no man at all There'll be a hot time in old town tonight My baby When you hear them bells go ding-a-ling All join around and sweetly you must sing When the verse aim through In the chorus we'll all join in There'll be a hot time in old town tonight There'll be a hot time in old town tonight There'll be a hot time in old town tonight
