Jimmie Rodgers - Blue Yodel No. 9 (Standin’ On the Corner) lyrics

Standin' 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"

Dee oh dee lay-ee, eh-ee, oh dee lay-ee

I said
"You'll find my name on the tail of my shirt
I'm a Tennessee hustler
I don't have to work"
So listen all you rounders
You better leave my women alone
'Cause I'll take my Special and
Run all you rounders home

Dee oh dee lay-ee, eh-ee, oh dee lay-ee

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 forty-four in each hand
She said, "Stand aside, all
You women and men
'cause I'm looking for my man"

Dee oh dee lay-ee, eh-ee, oh dee lay-ee
