Ma Rainey — Trust No Man

[Verse 1] I want all you women to listen to me Don't trust your man no further than your eyes can see I trusted mine with my best friend But that was a bad bargain in the end [Chorus] Trust no man, trust no man No further than your eyes can see I said trust no man no further than your eyes can see He'll tell you that he loves you and swear it is true The very next minute, he'll turn his back on you Ah, trust no man no further than your eyes can see [Verse 2] Just feed your daddy with a long-handled spoon Be sure to love him mornin', night, and noon Sometime your heart will ache and almost burst That's why I said no man is good enough to trust [Interlude] Trust no man Say it, take Ma Rainey's advice, don't trust no man I mean not even your own man Alright now, [you're botherin'] me, but just don't trust nobody See where it got me, don't you? He sure will leave you [Chorus] Ah, trust no man, trust no man No further than your eyes can see Oh, trust no man no further than your eyes can see He'll stay with you in the winter, find some money [?] Look out in the summer, you'll find your sheik'll be gone I said trust no man no further than your eyes can see
