Why Should I Hang Around? - Big Maceo, Tampa Red, Big Maceo, Tampa Red, Alfred Elkins

I just don’t know, what’s this all about?

What is it all about, boys?

I just don’t know, what’s this all, all about?

The woman I love, is tryin' to put me out

She said she didn’t want me

Why should I hang around?

Hey, why should I hang around?

And that if I hang around, I would be jail house bound

I love that woman, more than she will ever know

Yes, I love her

Hey baby, more than you will ever know

But if you drive me away, I won’t be back no more

I stole that woman, stole her from my best friend

Yeah, hee, from my best friend

But that old fool’s so darn lucky

He’s 'bout to get her back again
