I hear these women raving 'bout their monkey men
About their trifling husbands and their no good friends
These poor women sit around all day and moan
Wondering why their wandering papa's don't come home
But wild women don't worry, wild women don't have no
blues
Now when you've got a man, don't never be on the square
'Cause if you do he'll have a woman everywhere
I never was known to treat no one man right
I keep 'em working hard both day and night
'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have
their blues
I've got a disposition and a way of my own
When my man starts kicking I let him find another home
I get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night
Go home and put my man out if he don't act right
Wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues
You never get nothing by being an angel child
You better change your ways and get real wild
I wanna tell you something, I wouldn't tell you a lie
Wild women are the only kind that really get by
'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have

You wonder why I'm grievin' and feelin' blue?
All I do is moan and cry
With me you'd be in sympathy if you only knew
And here's the reason why:
Have you heard what that mean old judge has done to me?
He told the jury not to let my man go free
There I stood with my heart so full of misery
He must die on the gallows, that was the court's decree
I walked the floor until his time was through
The judge he said, "There's nothin' you can do"
He must die on the gallows, by his neck be hung
He must pay with his life when that there trap is sprung
He refused folks to talk until it was too late
He gave his life to satisfy the State
When they pull the black cap over my daddy's face
Lord I beg the sheriff to let me take his place
Now everyday I seem to see that news
I cry to hide my tears but what's the use?
Thirteen steps with his lovin' arms bound to his side

I never seen such a real hard times before
I never seen such a real hard times before
The wolf keeps walkin' all 'round my door
They howl all night and they moan till the break of day
They howl all night and they moan till the break of day
They seem to know my good man's gone away
I can't go outside to my grocery store
I can't go outside to my grocery store
I ain't got no money and my credit don't go no more
Won't somebody please try and find my man for me
Won't you please try and find my man for me
Tell him I'm broke and hungry, lonely as I can be
If he didn't like my potatoes, why did he dig so deep
If he didn't like my potatoes, why did he dig so deep

(Ida Cox)
When you lose your money don't lose your mind
When you lose your money don't lose your mind
When you lose your good man please don't mess with mine
And I'm gonna buy me a bulldog to watch my man while he
sleeps
I'm gonna buy me a bulldog to watch my man while he
sleeps
Men are so doggone crooked, afraid he might make a four
day creep
Girls I'm gonna tell you this, ain't gonna tell you
nothin' else
Girls I'm gonna tell you this, ain't gonna tell you
nothin' else
Any woman's a fool who thinks she's got a whole man by
herself
But if you got a good man and don't want him taken away
from you
Girls if you got a good man and don't want him taken
away from you
Don't ever tell your friend woman what your man can do
Lord Lord I'm getting up in years
Lordy Lordy Lordy I'm getting up in years
But mama ain't too old to shift her gears
And I'm a big fat mama, got the meat shakin' on my
bones
I'm a big fat mama, got the meat shakin' on my bones

Tell me pretty daddy : what's the matter now
Are you trying to quit me : and you don't know how
I'd rather be dead : buried in the sea
Than to have the man I love : say he don't want me
Lord Lord : Lordy Lordy Lord
Oh the man I love : treats me like a dog
I'd rather see : my coffin come rolling in my door
Than to hear the man I love : say I don't want you no

The time has come : for us to part
I ain't going to cry : it won't break my heart
Because I'm through with you : and I hope you don't feel
hurt
You are like an old horseshoe : that's had its day
You're like an old shoe : I must throw away
You're like an old ship : that sprung a leak
You ain't young no more : and your loving is weak
You ain't got no money : you're down and broke

You can always tell : when your best man don't want you
around
He will come home at night : turn the bed upside down
My heart's full of sorrow : tears come rolling down
Because my baby : was Kentucky bound
The pale moon shines : down on the mountain still
Way down in old Kentucky : mid those high blue hills
Shine on old moon : harvest moon shine on
Because old moon you'll be shining : when I'm dead and
gone
I'm going to tell my mama : when I go back home
Tell her the folks up here : won't let my Kentucky man

Takes a southern woman : to sing this southern song
Lord I'm worried now : but I won't be worried long
When I was downtown : I wouldn't take no one's advice
But I ain't going to let : that same bee sting me twice
Because I'm going back : where the weather suits my
clothes
Down where there ain't no snow : and the chilly winds
never blow
I don't want no northerner : no northern black or brown
Southern men will stick by you : when the northern men
can't be found
You ever been south : you know just what I mean
Southern men are all the same : from Kentucky to New
Orleans
I'm going back south : where I can get my hambone boiled
These northern men : are about to let my poor hambone

Old pal old pal : you stole my man away
But that's all right : I'll get him back some day
You stole my man : between midnight and day
And if I catch you old pal : I sure will make you pay
Why should you : have a daddy of your own
Old pal old pal : you better let my man alone
Old pal you said : two friends could understand

Daddy oh daddy : won't you answer me please
All day I stood by your coffin : trying to give my poor
heart ease
I rubbed my hands over your head : and whispered in your
And I wonder if you know : that your mama's near
You told me that you loved me : and I believed what you
said
And I wished that I could fall : here across your coffin
dead
When I left the undertakers : I couldn't help but cry

Early this morning : the blues come walking in my room
I said blues please tell me : what are you doing here so
soon
He looked at me and smiled : but yet they refused to say
I asked him again : and they turned and walked away
The first thing they told you : your man you're going to
lose
At first I didn't believe it : but I found that it was
true
Blues oh blues : you know you been here before
The last time you were here : you made me cry and walk

Hello Central : give me long‑distance please
I'm begging with tears in my eyes : and down on my bended
knees
Hello Central : give me Mr Henry Brown
What you say you were calling : a storm has blown the
wires down
Listen long‑distance : can you send a telegram
Do this please : before I fall down *left in a jam*
You just tell him : he better hurry home

Early this morning : when everything was still
My daddy said he was leaving : though it's against my
will
He said I'm leaving mama : and your crying won't make me
stay
The more you cry : the further I'm going away
A man is like a car : that you have to overhaul
Keep him three or four weeks : and you can't get along at
I gave him everything : from a diamond on down

The blues came down my alley : and stopped right at my
door
They made me feel : like I've never felt before
I'm a good‑hearted woman : never done nobody wrong
But the better I treat my daddy : the worse we get along
If you don't want me daddy : please tell me what to do
I've never loved nobody daddy : like I'm loving you
I've got ten little puppies : twelve little shaggy hound

Hey, mister, please
Spare me some time, I'm lonely
My heart is crying, help me
Hey, mister, please, help me
I need something inside
Hey, mister, please
Please be the one who can give
One gentle touch or maybe
One gentle kiss, please, please
I need it desparately
Cause I've been giving
And giving and giving
And never getting no results
I'm tired of searching
And searching and searching
Please be the one to see what I need
Give me some mellow loving
That's what I need from you
Lyrics courtesy Top40db.
I want some mellow loving
I want it just from you
Give me some mellow loving
That's what I need from you
(That's what I need from you)
I want some mellow loving
I need it just from you
Hey, mister, please
I'm like a flower and I need
A little rain or maybe
Your sunshine could just
Somehow ease the pain
Hey, mister, please
Please be the one who can give
One gentle touch or maybe
One gentle kiss, please, please
I need it desparately
Cause I've been giving
And giving and giving
And never getting no results
I'm tired of searching
And searching and searching
Please be the one to see what I need
Give me some mellow loving
That's what I need from you
(That's what I need from you)
I want some mellow loving
I want it just from you
I'm tired of sitting home lonely
Waiting for one little touch
Can't you see that I'm a woman
And I'm hungry
Can't you see what I need
Give me some mellow loving
That's what I need from you
(That's what I need from you)
I want some mellow loving
I want it just from you
Give me
Give me some mellow loving
That's what I need from you
(That's what I need from you)
I want some mellow loving

Is better for the deeper love you've shown to me
Now I believe I know that I can
