B.D. Woman's Blues Songtext

von Lucille Bogan

Comin' a time, B.D.1 women, they ain't gonna need no men
Comin' a time, B.D. women, they ain't gonna needs no men
Oh, the way they treat us is a low down and dirty thing

B.D. women you sure can't understand
B.D. women you sure can't understand
They got a head like a sweet angel2 and they walk like a nach'l3 man

B.D. women, they all done learned their thing
B.D. women, they all done learned their thing
They can lay their jive just like a natch'l man

B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough
B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough
They are drink up many a whisky and they sure can strut their stuff

B.D. women, you know they work and they make their dough4
B.D. women, you know they work and they make their dough
And when they get ready to spend it, they know the place where to go
