What's the Matter - Memphis Jug Band

Now yonder comes Jimmy, he’s comin' down the street

He’s got a knot in his back like Mr. Charlie’s feet

Now, what’s the matter with him?

Aww, beedle-am-bam

Now what’s the matter with the thing

You hear me talkin' to you

Now what’s the matter (What's the matter?)

I’ve never seen such a thing before

That was old-lady Dinah, she was sittin' on a rock

Had a forty-dollar razor tryin' to shave that knot

Now, what’s the matter with the thing?

Aww, beedle-am-bam

Now, what’s the matter with you?

You hear me talkin' to you

Now what’s the matter (What's the matter?)

I’ve never seen such a thing befor

Yes, my mother taught me, papa taught m too

Son, that thing in Memphis gon' be the death of you

Now, what’s the matter with the thing?

Aww, beedle-am-bam

Now, what’s the matter with the thing?

You hear me talkin' to you

Now what’s the matter (What's the matter?)

I’ve never seen such a thing before

I’m gonna chew my 'bacco, I’m gonna spit my juice

I’m gonna save that thing for your particular use

Now, what’s the matter with you?

Aww, beedle-am-bam

Now, what’s the matter with the thing?

You hear me talkin' to you

Now what’s the matter (What's the matter?)

Yes the cold lady, Rose, about a half-past four

Mama you don’t mean me no good, I just can’t use you no more

Now, what’s the matter with the thing?

Aww, beedle-am-bam

Now, what’s the matter with you?

You hear me talkin' to you

Now what’s the matter (What's the matter?)

I’ve never seen such a thing before

I went down on the lake about a half-past four

I see two bullfrogs doin' their courting down low

Now, what’s the matter with you?

Aww, beedle-am-bam

Now, what’s the matter with you?

You hear me talkin' to you

Now, what’s the matter with you?

I’ve never seen such a thing before
