*______________________________*Well, the ugliest li'l thing you ever see before...He didn't be a tramp, he's a hobo.He's a ugly li'l somethin on the scout.He's a terrible li'l creature hush yo' mouth.He's a awful li'l thing, he's a killer diller from the south.Well, he walked into the store where I was at,And in his face looked like a cryin cat.Cause he's a ugly li'l sucker on the scout,He's a terrible li'l creature hush yo' mouth,He's a awful li'l thing, he's a killer diller from the south.Well, he walked down the street lookin in a showcase,His stacker walked out, said you can take my place.Cause he's a ugly li'l shaver on the scout,He's a terrible li'l somethin hush yo' mouth,He's a awful li'l creature, he's a killer diller from the south.Well, he walked in the hotel, ever'body left,He looked in the glass and he smiled at his self,I'm a ugly li'l shaver on the scout,I'm a terrible li'l somethin hush yo' mouth,I'm a awful li'l creature, I'm a killer diller from the south ==================

Blues Corner... Minnie!Memphis Minnie (1897-1973), an American songwriter, who was the only female blues artist considered a match to male contemporaries as both a singer and an instrumentalist!

Wow--I would love for someone to show the lyrics above because I just know they're strong--she says "a little somethin' that'll hurt your mouth?" I dunno but I'd like to learn.

Memphis Minnie's contribution to the Blues is HUGE. I quote: "Minnie was the first to record with what came to be known as the "classic" 1950s blues combo: electric guitar, piano, bass, and drums. It has also been noted that Minnie was among the first to play the electric guitar in 1943, at least one year before Muddy Waters did." Her influence on Blues and Rock is incalculable.
