Ma Rainey Trust No Man
I want all you women : to listen to me
Don't trust your man : no further than your eyes can see
I trusted my man : with my best friend
But that was a bad bargain : in the end
He'll say that he loves you : and swear that it's true
The very next minute : he'll turn his back on you
Just feed your daddy : with a long‑handled spoon
Keep showing you love him : morning night and noon
Sometimes your heart will ache : and almost bust
That's why : there's no daddy good enough to trust
He'll stay with you in the winter : whilst your money is
long
Come out in the summer : you'll find your pig will be
gone
