For his last song, Bruce was told he had to play a short one, and this is what he did. he said he learned it a long, long time ago.
Beedle-Um-Bum
Down in Memphis, Tennessee, there lives a girl named Cindy
With a meat shop on her block, she's always got the gimme.
There's a meal called Southern eel that you can't resist from tryin'.
Every time you pass her by you can hear Miss Cindy cryin'
"Oh, the Beedle-um-Bum
Come and see me if you ain't had none.
Make a dumb man speak, A lame man run
You sure missed plenty if you ain't had none."
Oh, the Beedle-um-Bum
The Beedle-um-Bum.
She makes the best Beedle-Bum down in Tennessee.
