CAROLINA CHOCOLATE DROPS
"Why Don't You Do Right?"
(Kansas Joe McCoy)

[Verse 1: Rhiannon Giddens]
You had plenty money, 1922
You let other women make a fool of you

[Chorus: Rhiannon Giddens]
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get outta here, and
Get me some money, too

[Verse 2: Rhiannon Giddens]
You sitting down wondering what it's all about
You ain't got no money that would put you out

[Chorus: Rhiannon Giddens]
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get outta here, and
Get me some money, too

[Verse 3: Rhiannon Giddens]
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wandering now from door to door

[Chorus: Rhiannon Giddens]
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men, like some other men do
Get outta here, and
Get me some money, too

[Refrain: Rhiannon Giddens]
I said get outta here
Give me some money, too
I said get outta here
Give me some money, too
