Reachin' Pete Lyrics - Singles - Memphis Minnie

Friend, you go to Helena, stop on Cherry Street 

Friend, you go to Helena, stop on Cherry Street 

And just ask anybody to show you Reachin' Pete 

He's the tallest man, walks on Cherry Street 

He's the tallest man, walks on Cherry Street 

And the baddest copper ever walked that beat 

(spoken: Eh, let's go to town now, that's what I'm talking about) 

He met me one Sunday morning, just about the break of day 

He met me one Sunday morning, just about the break of day 

I was drinking my moonshine, he made me throw my knife away 

Well, he taken my partner down to the jail 

Well, he taken my partner down to the jail 

After he locked her up, he turned and went her bail 

Reachin' Pete's all right, but his buddy 

Reachin' Pete's all right, but his buddy 

Every time he meet you, he ready for plenty hell
