"Wild Women Don't Have The Blues" lyrics - CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT

I hear these women ravin' 'bout their monkey men
About their triflin' husbands and their no-good friends
These poor women sit around all day and moan
Wonderin' why their triflin' papas don't come home
But wild women don't worry, wild women don't have the blues

Now when you've got a man, don't ever be on the square
'Cause if you do, he'll have a woman everywhere
I never was known to treat no one man right
I keep them working hard both day and night
Wild women don't worry, wild women don't have no blues

I've got a disposition and a way of my own
When my man starts kicking, I let him find another home
I get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night
Go home and put my man out if he don't act right
Wild women don't worry, wild women don't have the blues

You never get nothing by bein' an angel child
You'd better change your ways and get real wild
I'm wonna tell you something, I wouldn't tell a lie
Wild women are the only kind that really get by
'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have no blues
