1923 – Jelly Roll Morton / Benjamin Franklin “Reb” Spikes / John Curry Spikes
I stood on the corner, my feet was dripping wet
I stood on the corner, my feet was dripping wet
I asked every man I met
Can’t give me a dollar, give me a lousy dime
Can’t give me a dollar, give me a lousy dime
Just to feed that hungry man of mine
I got a husband and I got a kid man too
I got a husband and I got a kid man too
My husband can’t do what my kid man can do
I like the way he cook my cabbage for me
I like the way he cook my cabbage for me
Look like he set my natural soul free
