recording of 1940-1941
from
The Bluebird Recordings 1940-1941 (RCA 66720)
My name is Memphis Slim, they call me the
Grinder Man
My name is Memphis Slim, they call me the Grinder Man
If you be my customer, I'll let you have it on a easy plan
I do my ramblin' at midnight, and I don't be seen in the day
I do my ramblin' at midnight, I don't be seen in the day
While everything is quiet and easy, Mr. Grinder can have his way
I got so many customers, it takes me a week to get around
I got so many customers, it takes me a week to get around
But you need not be uneasy baby, Mr. Grinder won't let you down
If you wanna see me baby, you better see me while you can
You wanna see me baby, you had better see me while you can
Because I'm a very busy fella, you know they call me the Grinder Man
