Ma Rainey - SHAVE 'EM DRY - Original lyrics

Artist: Ma Rainey

album: Blues Legends pres. Ma Rainey


There's one thing I don't understand
Why a good-Iookin' woman loves a workin' man
Eeh, hey, daddy won't you shave 'em dry?
Goin' 'way to wear you off my mind
You keeps me broke and hungry, daddy all the time
Eeeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
Don't see how you hungry women can sleep
Shimmies all day without a bite to eat
Eeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
Goin' downtown to spread the news
State Street women wearing brogan shoes
Hey, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
If it wasn't for their powder and sto' bought hair
State Street gals couldn't go nowhere
Eeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
There's one thing I don't understand
Some women walkin' State Street like a man
Eeh, hey, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
Went to the show the other night
Everybody on State Street tryin' to fight
Eeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
Ain't crazy 'bout my yeller, I ain't wild about my brown
Makes no difference when the sun goes down
Eeh, hey, daddy won't you shave 'em dry
When you see two women runnin' hand in han'
You can bet your life they got the other one's man
Eeh, hey, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
Don't let that man come in my home
If his wife is here I don't mean no harm
Eeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
