Madison Street Rag
Cannon Jug Stompers
First time I was in Memphis, with Tenne with a ssee
I was walkin' on up Main Street
I meet an old friend of mine
He say, "Hello there, Joe"
I say, "Hello"
He say, "What that you got in that suitcase?"
I say, "It's a banjo"
He say, "Can you play the Madison Street Rag?"
I say, "No man, I don't know about the Madison Street Rag?"
He says, "Fool, now whistle."
I say, "Alright, whistlin' I can play."
So hear he goes.
Mmm-mm
[whistling]
I say, "Yeah man, I can play that"
He say, "Come on, go down here on Madison...corner. Fulton and Madison with me"
So I go on down there.
We just sat on the corner.
There we was down here on the corner.
Right down here on the corner, now we're startin' a bowl?.
Oh man, we're havin' a good time. Mmm-mm.
In a few minute, here come the man with the headache stick.
And you know one thing, that boy run himself off and left me.
There he go, catch 'em.
Mmm-mm, play it long time.
Mmm-mm, aww shuck.
Now ain't that the good one?
Mmm-mm.
Aw shuck.
Mmm-mm, play it now boy.
I'm gonna quit.
