Lyrics Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong

Irish Black Bottom

All you heard for years in Ireland was the 'Wearin' Of The Green'

But the biggest change that's come in Ireland I have ever seen

All the laddies and the cooies laid aside their Irish reels

And I was born in Ireland

(Ha, ha)

So imagine how I feels

Now Ireland's gone black bottom crazy, see them dance

You ought to see them dance

Folks supposed to be related, even dance

I mean they dance

They play that strain, works right on their brain

Now it goes black bottom, a new rhythm's drivin' the folks insane

I hand you no Blarney, when I say that song really goes

And they put it over with a wow, I mean now

All over Ireland you can see the people dancin' it

'Cause Ireland's gone black bottom crazy
