Standing on the corner, I didn't mean no harm
When a police come, he took me by the arm
Was down in Memphis, corner of Beale and Main
Said "hey big boy, you better tell me your name"
I said "you'll find my name on the back of my shirt
I'm a Tennessee hustler and I don't have to work"
Come all you rounders, leave my woman alone
I'll take my special and run all you rounders home
My good girl love me, everybody knows
Spent a hundred cash dollars to buy me a suit of clothes
She come to the joint, forty-four in each hand
Said "step aside all you women and men
'Cause I'm looking for my man"
Come all you rounders, leave my woman alone
I'll take my special and run all you rounders home
My good girl love me, everybody knows
Spent a hundred cash dollars to buy me a suit of clothes
She come to the joint, forty-four in each hand
Said "step aside all you women and men
'Cause I'm looking for my man"
