Lyrics What's the Matter - Memphis Jug Band

What's the Matter

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?)
I’ve never seen such a thing before
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
