Wild Women Don​´​t Get The Blues

from Unplugged At Bop Street (LP 2015) by Sara Gee & Ramblin Matt and Friends

about

This is a song that was recorded by one of the great ladies of the Blues in 1924, Ida Cox wrote it and the lyrics about strong women not taking any crap from their men stills as valid nowadays as it did almost 100 years ago when it was written and recorded, even though in those days being a woman and black in the South of the US it was not an easy life.

lyrics

"Wild Women Don´t Get The Blues"

I hear these women raving 'bout their monkey men
About their trifling1 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 their blues
