I was trying to take down Big Bill Broonzy's lyrics to "Beedle Um Bum", which diffr slightly from, and are longer than the Jim Kweskin version listed here. What I've got so far is below, but I can't make out some words (old, crackly original). I've indicated the phonetic sound of, to me, some words in [ ] - even if they make no sense! Any help, from anyone who has the Broonzy version, on getting the right words would be appreciated.


BEEDLE UM BUM

Down in Memphis Tennessee, there's a gal named Cindy
Runs an eat shop on the block, she's always got the gimme
Serves a meal with a tadpole heel, you can't resist by dying
And every time you pass her door, you'll hear miss Cindy crying

Oh my Beedle Um Bum, come and see me if you ain't had none
Makes a dumb man speak, makes a lame man run,
You'll sure miss something if you don't get some
My Beedle Um Bum – oh my Beedle Um Bum
It's the best Beedle Um that's made in Tennessee

[Instrumental]

Every day at ten o'clock, she'll go down to the station
Soon as the post has come in town, she'll give a little invitation
Every day from noon til night, she's always busy belling
Beedle Um hot and Beedle Um cold, you could always hear her yelling

Oh my Beedle Um Bum, come and see me if you ain't had none
Ain't made salt and it ain't made [-ass?],
Just made up in a [medium fast?]
My Beedle Um Bum – oh my Beedle Um Bum
It's the best Beedle Um that's made in Tennessee

[Instrumental]

Oh my Beedle Um Bum, come and see me if you ain't had none
You don't have to hurry, you don't have to go,
You get a little taste make you want some more
My Beedle Um Bum – oh my Beedle Um Bum
It's the best Beedle Um that's made in Tennessee
