[Dixielandjazz] Need help on one word in a the verse to "MyBaby Knows How"

[Bill Gunter]

Bill Haesler writes (regarding the verse to "My Baby Knows How"):

>That last line on Annette Hanshaw's "My Baby Knows How" (1926.
>Davis-Akst-Richman) is:
>
>"Now mister, ...  Can't you see, there ain't no stuff on me."

I thought that's what I heard but it doesn't make much sense to me. What 
does it mean?

Respectfully requested,

Bill Gunter

ps - I've got an mp3 of me playing drums and singing it with the old Black 
Diamond Jazz Band (I don't sing the verse) - if you're interested let me 
know and I'll send it to you via email attachment.
