My Butcher Man

My Butcher Man - Memphis Minnie

Wonder where is my butcher man now

I've been looking for him all day long

Butcher man butcher man

Where have you been so long

Butcher man butcher man

Where have you been so long

I can't catch you at the butcher shop

And you're so hard to find at home

I'm going to tell everybody

I've got the best butcher

Man in town

I'm going to tell everybody

I've got the best butcher

Man in town

He can slice your ham

He can cut it from the fat on down

He slice my pork chops

And he grinds my sausage too

He slice my pork chops

And he grinds my sausage too

Ain't nothing in the line of

Butchering that my butcher

Man can't do

Butcher man in the morning

Won't you please stop by

My house

Butcher man in the morning

Won't you please stop by

My house

I've got butchering

For you to do if you promise

Me you just only hush your mouth

Butcher man butcher man

I got a ham I cannot slice

Butcher man butcher man

I got a ham I cannot slice

If you can't stop in the morning

Please stop by

Tomorrow night

If anybody asks you

Butcher man where have you been

If anybody asks you

Butcher man where have you been

Show them that long bladed knife

Tell them you been

Butchering out in the slaughter pens

Let's go butcher man for me
