Lyrics Lucinda Williams

Lucinda Williams

Jug Band Music

When I was up

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 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

Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music

Certainly was a treat for me

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
