Standing on the corner, I didn't mean no harm
Along came a police and took me by the arm
Was down in Memphis corner of Beale and Main
He said "Big boy, you better tell me your name"
I said "You'll find my name on the tail of my shirt
I'm a Tennessee hustler and I don't have to work"
Listen all you rounders better leave my woman alone
I'll take my special and run all you rounders home
My good girl love me, everybody knows
She paid a hundred cash dollars just for me a suit of clothes
She come to the joint, .44 in each hand
Said, "Stand aside all you prison guards
'Cause I'm her to get my man"
And I said "You'll find my name on the tail of my shirt
I'm a Tennessee hustler and I don't have to work"
