(Victor 23580-A) Standin’ on the corner, I didn’t mean no harm. Along come a pólice; he took me by the arm. It was down in Memphis, corner of Beale an’ Main. He says: “Big boy, you’ll have to tell me your name.” YODEL I said: “You’ll find my name on the tail of my shirt. I’m a Tennessee hustler; I don’t have to work." Listen, all you rounders: you better leave my women alone, ‘Cause I’ll take my special and run all you rounders home. YODEL My good gal loves me, ev’rybody knows, An’ she paid a hundred cash dollars, just for me a suit of clo’es. She come to the joint, a forty-fo’ in each han’. She says: “Stand aside, all you women an’ men, ‘cause I'm looking for my man.” YODEL |
