Ida Cox — Wild Women Don’t Have The Blues 1924 Recording

[Verse 1] I hear these women ravin' 'bout their monkey men About their triflin' husbands and their no-good friends These poor women sit around all day and moan Wondering why their wandering papas don't come home But wild women don't worry, wild women don't have no blues [Verse 2] Now when you've got a man, don't never be on the square 'Cause if you do, he'll have a woman everywhere I never was known to treat no one man right I keep 'em working hard both day and night 'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have the blues [Verse 3] I've got a disposition and a way of my own When my man starts kicking, I let him find another home I get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night Go home and put my man out if he don't act right Wild women don't worry, wild women don't have the blues [Verse 4] You never get nothing by bein' an angel child You'd better change your ways and get real wild I'm gonna tell you something, I wouldn't tell you a lie Wild women are the only kind that really get by 'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have the blues
