lyrics
Oh, that Fourth Street mess around
Originated down in Memphis town
Go down Fourth until you get to Vance, ask anybody about that brand new dance
The gals will say you’re going my way it’s right here for you
here’s your only chance
Then ease down Vance until you get to Main
Turn around, beat it back again
It makes no difference where you were born, the jug band has got your water on
While they’re playing that Fourth Street mess around
Chorus:
Somebody tell me, what makes this jug band drink?
Somebody tell me, what makes this jug band drink?
They get you whipping these blues, and they begin to think
About that Fourth Street mess around
Originated by that jug band from Memphis town
Go down Fourth until you get to Vance, ask anybody about that brand new dance
The gals will say You’re going my way, it’s right here for you, here’s your only chance
Then ease down Vance until you get to Main
Turn around, beat it back again
Excuse us, stranger, for being bold this morn, but would you knock the jug band another drink of corn
While we play that Fourth Street mess around
Outro:
Here we come all drunk again
