Lyrics Lucinda Williams – Jug Band Music

When I was up
In Memphis, Tennessee
Jug band music
Sounds so sweet to me

Well, I went to my man
Put my hand on his knees
And said: «If you can’t play the jug
You can’t play with me»
Because it sounds so sweet
And they’re hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me

And then I took off my socks
I took off my shoes
I danced all night
To the jug band blues
Because it sounds sweet
And they’re hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me

And then I went back home
Turned on my radio
Jug band music
Made me stop and slow
Because it sounds so sweet
And they’re hard to beat

And it was way downtown
In Memphis, Tennessee
Jug band music
Sounds so sweet to me
Because it sounds so sweet
And they’re hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for
Jug band music
Certainly was a treat for
Jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me
