LAZY WOMAN'S BLUES
(R.J. Jones)


Blanche Calloway - 1925





Some of these women, too lazy to put a button on a good man's shirt
Some of these women, too lazy to put a button on a good man's shirt
But they ain't too lazy to count his money Saturday night

I know a lazy woman put ten dollars in a telephone
I know a lazy woman put ten dollars in a telephone
Just to tell her sweet man her money man is out and gone

When a woman's too lazy to try to bake an apple pie
When a woman's too lazy to try to bake an apple pie
She's too lazy to live and she's too darn lazy to die

I know you lazy women gonna hate me when you hear this song
I know you lazy women gonna hate me when you hear this song
But the truth is you lazy and I surely have to carry it on
