Standing on the corner
I didn't mean no harm
When a big policeman
Grabbed me by the arm

Now I was down in Memephis
On the corner of Beale and main
He said " Now hey big boy
I'm gonna have to know your name

Now you can find my name
On the tail of my shirt
I'm a Tennessee hustler
And I never have to work

But I'm telling all you rounders
You best leave my woman alone
I'll take my.38 special
And I'll run you rounders home
