Standing on the corner
I didn't mean no harm
Along come a police
He took me by the arm
It was down in Memphis
Corner of Beale and Main
He says "Big boy,
you'll have to tell me your name."
ย
I said "You'll find my name
on the tail of my shirt
I'm a Tennessee hustler
and I don't have to work"
Listen all you rounders,
You better leave my women alone
'Cuz I'll take my Special
and run all you rounders home
ย
My good gal loves me, everybody knows
And she paid a hundred cash dollars
Just for me a suit of clothes.
She come to the joint,
A .44 in each hand
She said "Stand aside all you women and men
'Cause I'm looking for my man."
