BEEDLE-UM-BUM
Tampa Red
on JIM KWESKIN AND THE JUG BAND
and Blind Willie McTell, LAST RECORDINGS

Down in Memphis, tennessee, there lives a girl named Cindy.
With a meat shop on her block, she's always got the gimme.
There's a meal called Southern eel that you can't resist from tryin'.
Every time you pass her by you can hear Miss Cindy cryin'

"Oh, the Beedle-um-Bum
Come and see me if you ain't had none.
Make a dumb man speak, A lame man run
You sure missed plenty if you ain't had none."

Oh, the Beedle-um-Bum
The Beedle-um-Bum.
She makes the best Beedle-Bum down in Tennessee.

From the Jug Band Rag
