Cross & Evil Woman Blues - Blind Blake

Lord, you women, sure do treat me mean

Lord, you women, sure do treat me mean

Why you treat me just like I was, some man who’s never been seen

When ya find a woman wake up in the morning, with a rag towel around her head

Ya found a woman wake up in the morning, with a rag towel around her head

She got a evil mind, to kill some poor man dead

She get up cross and evil, and can’t hardly be pleased

She get up cross and evil, and she can’t hardly be pleased

Nothing you can do to please that woman, if you get down on your bended knee

Don’t a woman feel good and satisfied, when she know she’s got a man of her own?

Don’t a woman feel good and satisfied, when she know she’s got a man of her own?

Don’t she feel hot and evil, when she know some no good woman is hippin' along?

Speak ta me.

Ya get a jealous-hearted woman, she’s the kind of woman that’s hard to quit

You’ll get a jealous-hearted woman, she’s a woman that’s hard to quit

If ya ever get on your hands, sure God never quit her yet

Lord, when jealous-hearted woman started lovin', she get’s crazy get out’ve mind

When a jealous-hearted woman start ta lovin', she get’s crazy get’s plumb out

of her mind

Aw, she want a shot-gun or razor, ice-pick or piece of pistol she can find
