You know, way down yonder in Memphis Tennessee Jug band music sounds sweet to me Because it sounds so sweet Oh you know they're hard to beat You know the jug band's music certainly was a treat to me I heard the boys play the other day You know those boys drove my blues away Because it sounds so sweet Oh you know they're hard to beat And the jug band's music certainly was a treat to me I went home turned on my radio I danced along (so long?) until I broke in my floor Because it sounds so sweet Oh you know it's hard to beat And the jug band's music certainly was a treat to me You know, there's old lady Dinah, you know, was settin' on a rock
Had a forty dollar razor tryin' to shave that knot Because it sounds so sweet Oh you know they're hard to beat You know the jug band's music certainly was a treat to me I told those people way across that hall I'm playing this piece and you know that's all Because it sounds so sweet Oh you know they're hard to beat And the jug band's music certainly was a treat to me Now run here doctor won't you run here quick All you want's tryin' to have my hambone fixed Because it sounds so sweet Oh you know they're hard to beat And the jug band's music certainly was a treat to me
