\/>\nHe don\u2019t treat me right<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">He makes me feel so blue<br \/>\nI don\u2019t know what to do<br \/>\nSometime I sit and sigh<br \/>\nAnd then begin to cry<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause my best friend<br \/>\nSaid his last goodbye<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">There\u2019s a change in the ocean<br \/>\nChange in the deep blue sea, my baby<br \/>\nI\u2019ll tell you folks, there ain\u2019t no change in me<br \/>\nMy love for that man will always be<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">Now I can read his letters<br \/>\nI sure can\u2019t read his mind<br \/>\nI thought he\u2019s lovin\u2019 me<br \/>\nHe\u2019s leavin\u2019 all the time<br \/>\nNow I see my poor love was blind<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">Now I got the crazy blues<br \/>\nSince my baby went away<br \/>\nI ain\u2019t got no time to lose<br \/>\nI must find him today<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">Now the doctor\u2019s gonna do all that he can<br \/>\nBut what you\u2019re gonna need is an undertaker man<br \/>\nI ain\u2019t had nothin\u2019 but bad news<br \/>\nNow I got the crazy blues<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">Now I can read his letters<br \/>\nI sure can\u2019t read his mind<br \/>\nI thought he\u2019s lovin\u2019 me<br \/>\nHe\u2019s leavin\u2019 all the time<br \/>\nNow I see my poor love was blind<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">I went to the railroad<br \/>\nHang my head on the track<br \/>\nThought about my daddy<br \/>\nI gladly snatched it back<br \/>\nNow my babe\u2019s gone<br \/>\nAnd gave me the sack<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">Now I\u2019ve got the crazy blues<br \/>\nSince my baby went away<br \/>\nI ain\u2019t had no time to lose<br \/>\nI must find him today<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">I\u2019m gonna do like a Chinaman<br \/>\nGo and get some hop<br \/>\nGet myself a gun, and shoot myself a cop<br \/>\nI ain\u2019t had nothin\u2019 but bad news<br \/>\nNow I\u2019ve got the crazy blues<\/p>\n<h2>Wild Women Don&#8217;t Have the Blues<\/h2>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">I hear these women ravin\u2019 \u2018bout their monkey men<br \/>\nAbout their triflin\u2019 husbands and their no-good friends<br \/>\nThese poor women sit around all day and moan<br \/>\nWondering why their wandering papas don\u2019t come home<br \/>\nBut wild women don\u2019t worry, wild women don\u2019t have no blues<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">Now when you\u2019ve got a man, don\u2019t never be on the square<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause if you do, he\u2019ll have a woman everywhere<br \/>\nI never was known to treat no one man right<br \/>\nI keep &#8217;em working hard both day and night<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause wild women don\u2019t worry, wild women don\u2019t have the blues<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">I\u2019ve got a disposition and a way of my own<br \/>\nWhen my man starts kicking, I let him find another home<br \/>\nI get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night<br \/>\nGo home and put my man out if he don\u2019t act right<br \/>\nWild women don\u2019t worry, wild women don\u2019t have the blues<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">You never get nothing by bein\u2019 an angel child<br \/>\nYou\u2019d better change your ways and get real wild<br \/>\nI\u2019m gonna tell you something, I wouldn\u2019t tell you a lie<br \/>\nWild women are the only kind that really get by<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause wild women don\u2019t worry, wild women don\u2019t have the blues<\/p>\n<h2>My Man Rocks Me (With One Steady Roll)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">I feel so happy<br \/>\nI have a smile most all the while<br \/>\nSince my baby came back home to stay<br \/>\nNight and day<br \/>\nHe\u2019s made life snappy<br \/>\nHe has my frown just fallin\u2019 down<br \/>\nIt all happened in this simple way<br \/>\n[I humor him, don\u2019t?] let him pout<br \/>\nSay mum\u2019s the word, don\u2019t let it out<br \/>\nHe put on me his magic power<br \/>\nAnd every single hour<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">My man rocks me with one steady roll<br \/>\nThere\u2019s no slippin\u2019 when he once takes hold<br \/>\nI looked at the clock and the clock struck one<br \/>\nI said \u201cNow daddy, ain\u2019t we got fun\u201d<br \/>\nOh, he was rockin\u2019 me with one steady roll<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">My man rocks me with on\u0435 steady roll<br \/>\nThere\u2019s no slippin\u2019 wh\u0435n he once takes hold<br \/>\nI looked at the clock and the clock struck six<br \/>\nI said \u201cDaddy, you know lots of tricks\u201d<br \/>\nOh, he was rockin\u2019 me with one steady roll<\/p>\n<p class=\"maps-to-line\">My man rocks me with one steady roll<br \/>\nThere\u2019s no slippin\u2019 when he once takes hold<br \/>\nI looked at the clock and the clock struck ten<br \/>\nI said \u201cGlory, amen\u201d<br \/>\nMy man was rockin\u2019 me with one steady roll<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Black History Month.
