Down In The Alley (Take 1) - Memphis Minnie

I met a man, asked me did I want to pally

Yes, baby, let’s go down in the alley

Take me down in the alley

Take me down in the alley

Take me down in the alley

I can get any business fixed all right

I met another man, asked me for a dollar

Might have heard that mother fuyer holler

Let’s go down in the alley

Let’s go down in the alley

Let’s go down in the alley

You can get your business fixed all right

(spoken: Let’s go)

When he got me in the alley, he called me a name

What I put on him was a crying shame

Down in this alley

Down in this alley

Down in this alley

Where I got my business fixed all right

You got me in the alley, but don’t get rough

I ain’t gonna put up with that doggone stuff

Way down in the alley

Way down in the alley

Way down in the alley

Lord, my business fixed all right

(spoken:

Woo, it’s dark

Can’t see no light

Got to feel my way out this alley

I’m gonna stop, boys, walking late at night)

You took me in the alley, you knocked me down

Now I’m gonna call every copper in this town

You got me down in the alley

You got me down in the alley

You got me down in the alley

Now you got your business fixed all right

(spoken: Boys, I’m sure gonna stop walking

Walking late at night)
