Memphis Minnie Hole In The Wall Lyrics

(Memphis Minnie)
KJ:
There is something wonderful, we can't understand
A rat come in here, cutting like a natural man
KJ & MM:
He got a hole in the wall
He got a hole in the wall
And when he get to cutting, you might have heard the
poor girl squall

MM:
Boys, that rat is a cutter, you ought to understand
He's cutting somebody, everywhere he lands
KJ & MM:
He got a hole in the wall
He got a hole in the wall
And when he get to cutting, you might have heard the
poor girl squall

KJ:
I was over to old man Jones', the other day
He had cut his wife, and 'bout to do his baby, the same
old way
KJ & MM:
He got a hole in the wall He got a hole in the wall
And when he get to cutting, you might have heard the
poor girl squall

MM:
The cat jumped at him, and he got away
Boys, if you don't watch that rat, he's gonna steal all
your meat away
KJ & MM:
He got a hole in the wall
He got a hole in the wall
And when he get to cutting, you might have heard the
poor girl squall

KJ:
I saw old man Collins, might have heard him crying
Boys, the way that woman cut him, he's about to lose
his mind
KJ & MM:
He got a hole in the wall
He got a hole in the wall
And when he get to cutting, you might have heard the
poor girl squall
