Jug Band Music

by Jim Kweskin

on Acoustic Swing And Jug (2006)

Way down South, Memphis, Tennessee
Jug band music sounds so sweet to me
'Cause it sounds so sweet
Ah, it's hard to beat
Jug band music certainly was a treat to me

I'm with my gal with my hand on her knee
Said: "You can't play the jug
You can't play with me"
Because it sounds so sweet
'Cause it sounds so sweet
Ah, it's hard to beat
Jug band music certainly was a treat for me

Went back home, turned on my radio
Jug band music made me stop down and slow
'Cause it sounds so sweet
Ah, it's hard to beat
Jug band music certainly was a treat to me

Then I took off my socks, I took off my shoes
I danced all night to the jug band blues
'Cause it sounds so sweet
Ah, it's hard to beat
Jug band music certainly was a treat to me
