Roosevelt Sykes — No Good Woman Blues lyrics

Lyrics

I don’t want no woman: partner that wants every man in town
Know she ain’t no good: she will tear your reputation
down
I went to my woman’s house: just to sit down and talk
awhile
Her husband come in with his shotgun: and he run me for
a solid mile
When I got home partner: I didn’t have time to [fasten,
lock] my back gate
I thought he was still behind me: and I didn’t hesitate
I won’t try no mule: that don’t know gee from haw
I don’t want no woman: she just soon as say yes as to say no Turn your light out mama: and pull you
curtains down
I’m going to fill you car with gasoline: and meet you
going downtown
