When I was up 
In Memphis, Tennessee
Jug band music 
Sounds so sweet to me
Because it sounds so sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me
Well, I went to my man
Put my hand on his knees
And said: "If you can't play the jug
You can't play with me"
Because it sounds so sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me
And then I took off my socks
I took off my shoes
I danced all night
To the jug band blues
Because it sounds sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me
And then I went back home
Turned on my radio
Jug band music 
Made me stop and slow
Because it sounds so sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me
And it was way downtown
In Memphis, Tennessee
Jug band music 
Sounds so sweet to me
Because it sounds so sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for 
Jug band music
Certainly was a treat for
Jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me
