Bessie Smith
recording of
from
The Complete Recordings, Vol. 3 (Columbia/Legacy C2K-47474)
Woke up this mornin' when chickens was crowin' for day
Felt on the right side of my pilla', my man gad gone away
By this pilla' he left a note readin', "I'm sorry, Jane, you got my goat
No time to marry, no time to settle down"
I'm a young woman and ain't done runnin' 'round
I'm a young woman and ain't done runnin' 'round
Some people call me a
hobo
, some call me a bum
Nobody knows my name, nobody knows what I've done
I'm as good as any woman in your town
I ain't no
high yeller
, I'm a deep killer of brown
I ain't gonna marry, ain't gonna settle down
I'm gonna drink good
moonshine
and rub these browns down
See that long lonesome road
Lawd, you know it's gotta and I'm a good woman and I can get plenty men
