Frank Stokes — Memphis Rounders Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Now what makes Memphis women: love a rounder so Because he takes his time: doing the work everywhere he goes
I don’t drink whiskey: but I’m crazy about my wine
If you take my good gal: I give you trouble all the time
There’s only four places in Memphis: that I would like to go Where I could have a good time: and do my work
everywhere I go Throwed up my hands: clasped them 'fore the sun
I might take my time: with the work that I once have
done
Then I’m going to sing this verse: and I wasn’t going to sing no more
Know if you hear me doing any singing: I’ll be standing
around my door
