Blue Yodel #9 (Standing On The Corner) - Jimmie Rodgers

Standing on the corner, I didn’t mean no harm

Along come the 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»

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-aaaa-iiiiii-adle-aaaaa

My good girl loves me, everybody knows

And she paid a hundred cash dollars just for me a suit of clothes

She come to the joint, a forty-four in each hand

She said «stand aside all you women and men

'Cause I’m looking for my man»

Yodel-aaaa-iiiiii-adle-aaaaa
