Slow Down Woman (take 1) Lyrics

J.B. Lenoir, vocal & guitar; J.T. Brown, tenor sax; Sunnyland Slim, piano;
Alfred Wallace, drums. Chicago, January 12, 1953

You women must slow down, honey child,
And take your time,
Yes, you must slow down, woman,
Honey child, and take your time;
Yes, you know, I need my life,
You women ain't gonn' mama's last child.

Man, if you got yourself a good woman,
Please, sir, take my advice,
Yes, if you got yourself a good woman,
Please, sir, take my advice;
All the days of my life,
A good woman is hard to find.

I have tried everything had on a dress,
I haven't found a good woman yet,
I have tried everything had on a dress,! haven't found a good woman yet;
All the days of my life,
A good woman is hard to find.
