Ike & Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits 1974

Ike & Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits 1974

A church house gin house
a school house outhouse
on Highway Number Nineteen
The people keep the city clean.
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush.

Call it Nutbush city limits.
Twentyfive was the speed limit
Motorcycle not allowed in it
You go t'the store on Friday
You go to church on Sunday.
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush.

Call it Nutbush city limits, Nutbush city limits.
You go t'the fields on week days
And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
But go to church ev'ry Sunday.
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush.

Call it Nutbush city limits, Nutbush city limits.

(Instrumental)

No whiskey for sale
You can't cop no bail
Saltpork and molasses
Is all you get in jail.
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush.

Nutbush city limits, Nutbush city limits,
is a good old town in Tennessee
A quiet little old community
A one-horse town
You have to watch what you're putting down
In old Nutbush

Only Tina can make dancing on one spot look better than the biggest dance routine. She puts Beyonce - her most imitating likeness - in the shade. But both are cut from the same cloth; they love to perform. Beyonce will be this generations Tina no-doubt.

She's amazing. Always put her whole heart info it..

From all later performances of this song I prefer this one. Here she sings out of anger while her sadistic husband is controlling her. If she does not do it good, he would beat her up

Tina got it going on! Great song and performance.

GREAT!!!! WOMEN!!!!!

I remember finding this on an album and it became an instant favorite. Maybe because I grew up in some towns like Nutbush. Probably because only Tina could sing about a 1 horse town and make it sound sexy.

WOW - what a voice, what a woman - saw Ike and Tina in MUNICH - decades ago - in love with her - and alher songs!

[MsLexi121212]

@TheJStatefan Yep, I sure do. My mother, I only wish I could be half the amazing woman she is when I get older. Beyonce is this generation's Tina pretty much.
