Grinder Man Blues

My name is Memphis Slim, they call me the
Grinder Man
My name is Memphis Slim, they call me the Grinder Man
If you be my customer, I'll let you have it on a easy
plan
I do my ramblin' at midnight, and I don't be seen in
the day
I do my ramblin' at midnight, I don't be seen in the
day
While everything is quiet and easy, Mr. Grinder can
have his way
I got so many customers, it takes me a week to get
around
I got so many customers, it takes me a week to get
around
But you need not be uneasy baby, Mr. Grinder won't let
you down
If you wanna see me baby, you better see me while you
can
You wanna see me baby, you had better see me while you
can
Because I'm a very busy fella, you know they call me
the Grinder Man
