Memphis Minnie – Killer Diller Blues lyrics
These are the lyrics as I transcribed them from the record.
Whether they're perfect or not, I don't know.
I may have transposed some of them here and there.
You're welcome to check it and correct it yourself.
Take it or leave it:
Well, the ugliest lil thing you ever see before...
He didn't be a tramp, he's a hobo.
Hes a ugly lil somethin on the scout.
Hes a terrible lil creature hush yo' mouth.
Hes a awful lil 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 lil sucker on the scout,
Hes a terrible lil creature hush yo' mouth,
Hes a awful lil 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 lil shaver on the scout,
Hes a terrible lil somethin hush yo' mouth,
Hes a awful lil creature, he's a killer diller from the south.
Well, he walked in the hotel, everbody left,
He looked in the glass and he smiled at his self,
I'm a ugly lil shaver on the scout,
I'm a terrible lil somethin hush yo' mouth,
I'm a awful lil creature, I'm a killer diller from the south.
Whether they're perfect or not, I don't know.
I may have transposed some of them here and there.
You're welcome to check it and correct it yourself.

Hes a awful lil 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 lil sucker on the scout,
Hes a terrible lil creature hush yo' mouth,
Hes a awful lil thing, he's a killer diller from the south.

Cause he's a ugly lil shaver on the scout,
Hes a terrible lil somethin hush yo' mouth,
Hes a awful lil creature, he's a killer diller from the south.
Well, he walked in the hotel, everbody left,
He looked in the glass and he smiled at his self,
I'm a ugly lil shaver on the scout,
I'm a terrible lil somethin hush yo' mouth,
I'm a awful lil creature, I'm a killer diller from the south.
