WISE WOMAN BLUES
Henry
as rec by Dinah Washington w Lucky Thompson & his All Stars Dec 10th 1945 Los Angeles
Now let me tell you baby, your mind is too full of sin,
Yes, let me tell you baby, your mind is too full of sin,
Don't forget, pretty daddy, that this world is full of other men!
I'm not going to be your servant, I told you time and time again,
No, I'm not going to be your servant, I told you time and time again,
Try to find yourself another woman, 'cause I've got myself another man!
So leave me alone, baby, you're not goin' to worry my mind,
Yes, leave me alone, baby, you're not goin' to worry my mind,
Before I'd keep you, papa, I'd take any kind of man I could find!
You had me once, daddy, you could have kept me all to yourself,
Yes, you had me once, daddy, you could have kept me all to yourself,
But now I'm sorry, baby, I belong to somebody else!
