Well, I'm goin down to Rosie's, Stop at Fannie Mae's. Gonna tell Fannie what I heard, Her boyfriend say. Don't start me to talkin, I'll tell her everything I know. I'm gonna break up this signifyin, Cause somebody's got to go. Jack give his wife two dollars, Go downtown and get some margarine. Gets out on the streets, Ole George stopped her. He knocked her down, And blackened her eye, She gets back home, Tell her husband a lie. Don't start me to talkin, I'll tell everything I know. I'm gonna break up this signifyin, Somebody's got to go. She borrowed some money, Go to the beauty shop. Jim honked his horn, She begin to stop, She said, "Take me, baby," "Around the block," "I'm goin to the beauty shop," "Where I can get my hair aside." Don't start me to talkin, I'll tell everything I know. Well, to break up this signifyin, Somebody's got to go. |

My heart has been broken
And all of my love`s in vain Heart have been broken And all my love`s in vain But the people`s always told me That woman was the glory of a man You whip her when she need it The judge will not let you explain Whip her when she need it The judge will not let you explain Because he believe in justice and a woman is the glory of a man I`d rather be tied out on the desert Right out in the falling rain Tied out on the desert Right out in the falling rain Than to lose my baby She is the glory of a man |
