Benjamin Tod - Nashville Women Lyrics

Benjamin Tod Lyrics

"Nashville Women"
(originally by Waylon Jennings)

Well, if it wasn't for the powder and the fine-tooth comb
Lord, if it wasn't for the powder and the fine-tooth comb
A lot of Nashville women wouldn't have no home

If the blues was whisky, I'd stay drunk all the time
If the blues was whisky, I'd stay drunk all the time
It takes a long time, mama, to wipe you from my mind

I'm going down the alley. See what I can find
Let going down the Printer's Alley. See what this boy can find
Let some pretty women love me, let 'em rob me blind

Yeah, I'm broke

Hey, you long-legged woman, you don't have to talk
I said
"You long-legged woman, you don't have to talk."
I can tell you's from Nashville by the way you walk

Well, if it wasn't for the powder and the fine-tooth comb
Lord, if it wasn't for the powder and the fine-tooth comb
Well, them Nashville women wouldn't have no home
A lot of Nashville women wouldn't have no home
