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
