frank stokes – its a good thing lyrics
now when i was young : in my prime
-pick these- different women : all the time
i had a woman : god her name was lucy
god almighty devil : what that woman wouldn’t do
another woman : god her name henrietta
talk to six straight men : say she knows no better
another woman : god her name was mattie
she’s a‑slipping and a‑stalling : in some dark alley
another woman : god her name was jenny
talked to white folks black folks : she wouldn’t give a
penny
another woman : god her name was mae
a white man only : got every day
i knocked mae down : i stomped in her face
half her trouble : must have
i went to the workhouse : to work out my time
and the same doggone woman : on my mind
in time i got out : i drunk a little gin
i goed right back : to mae’s house again
by time i got in the house : getting ready to have a
little fun
made me come back -about- : i gotten more than one
now let me tell you a little something : don’t you
raise no fuss
boys these young women : want to do their stuff
from their legs and from their ankles : and on to their
knees
-trying to ??? devilment- : as they can be
while you’re out man : trying to
she’s a‑winking and a‑blinking : at another man
you get out at night : you peeping through a crack
i wonder how long : before my husband gets back
your husband get back : you ready to have a little fun
before you get out of sight : he got more than one
and now i’m getting old : lord my head’s getting grey
lord i’m not bow‑legged : but i walks that way
i -claim to see the oldest rat- : of the -barge-
i known about the women : long before i got grown
but some in the daytime : some at night
how in the world : can you treat any living man right
any time you get out : you’re ready to
turn around and slipping down : jumping in your bed
he jumped in your bed : he begin to have a little fun
anything you want to know : got a little -lunch- done
a little -lunch- done : from three to four
have to -turn down- : before your old man go
you may be brownskin : you color may be black
what i say about you women : i won’t take it back
i get drunk : love to have my fun
but all the darn women : got more than one
