Beedle-Um-Bum - McKinney's Cotton Pickers, Don Redman

Down in Memphis, Tennessee

Lives a girl named Simmy

She’s got a meat shop on the block;

She’s always got the gimme

Serves a meal with a tadpole heel

Can’t resist for trying;

Every time you pass her door

Hear Miss Simmy cryin':

Oh, beedle-um-bum

Come see me if you ain’t had none

She make a dumb man speak

A lame man run

Sure miss something if you ain’t had none!

Oh, the beedle-um-bum

Oh, the beedle-um-bum

Got the best beedle-dum

Down in Tennessee!

Oh, that beedle-um-dum-bum

Got that beedle-um-dum-bum
