Lyrics for Hop Joint

I went down to the hop joint, hop joint raisin' sand Said, "Stroll back you gangway, I'm lookin' for my man" Oh, my babe, why don't you come home? I got a brand new razor and a .44 gun Gonna cut you if you stay here, gonna shoot you if you run And oh, my babe, why don't you come home? I said, I went down to the hop joint, hop joint raisin' sand Said, "Stroll back you gangway, I'm lookin' for that man" Oh, my babe, why don't you come home?
