Safety Mama - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)
Let me tell you how and why
What no-good man done to me
He called me pretty young and wild
After that he let me be
He'd taken advantage of my mouth
And that you understand
So wait a while show you chile
Just how to treat a no-good man
Make him stay at home wash and iron
Tell all the neighbors he done lost his mind
Give your house rent shake
On Saturday night
Monday morning you'll hold collectors good and tight
You see a man you really like
Let him bite that monkey brother in his back
When his cruel heart turn his love breaks down
Hold him where you got him make him stay in town
'Cause I'm a safety woman lookin' for a safety man
Make him stay at home help me wash and iron
The neighbors know he done lost his mind
I give a house rent shake on Saturday night
Monday morning I held collectors good and tight
I seen a man I really like
I let him bite that monkey brother smack in his back
When his cruel heart turn his love breaks down
I hold it where I had it and he stayed in town
I'm a safety woman and I had to have a safety man
I ain't good lookin' I'm built for speed
I've got ev'rything a pigmeat needs
'Cause I'm a safety woman lookin' for a safety man
