Memphis Minnie

Memphis Minnie - New Dirty Dozen lyrics

Your rating:

What you're thinking about ain't on my mind, that stuff you got is the sorriest kind
 Now you're a sorry mistreater, robber and a cheater
 Slip you in the dozens, your papa and your cousin
 Your mama do the lordy lord

 Come all of you women's outta be in the can, out on the corner stopping every man,
 Hollering "Soap is a nickel and the towel is free, I'm pigmeat, pappy, now who wants me?"
 You's a old mistreater, robber and a cheater
 Slip you in the dozens, your papa and your cousin
 Your mama do the lordy lord

 Now the funniest thing I ever seen, tom cat jumping on a sewing machine
 Sewing machine run so fast, took 99 stitches in his yas, yas, yas
 Now he's a cruel mistreater, robber and a cheater
 Slip you in the dozens, your papa and your cousin
 Your mama do the lordy lord

 Now I'm gonna tell you all about old man Bell, he can't see but he sure can smell
 Fish-man passed here the other day, hollering "Hey, pretty mama, I'm going your way"
 I know all about your pappy and your mammy,
 your big fat sister and your little brother Sammy,
 your auntie and your uncle and your ma's and pa's,
 they all got drunk and showed their Santa Claus
 Now they're all drunken mistreaters, robbers and a cheaters
 Slip you in the dozens, your papa and your cousin
 Your mama do the lordy lord
