Sorry, its so late

The second of the NOT SO WEEKLY Blues lyrics is finally here:


Beggin' Woman
Recorded by Cousin Joe and the Sam Price Trio (New York, 19 November 1947). On the LP: "Out came the blues" (Coral CP 58, 1970) BEGGIN' WOMAN (Sam Price - Pleasant Joseph)

I've got a beggin' woman
She keep on beggin' me
She'll even try to beg
A possum out of a tree

You know she's a beggin' woman
And I can see it in her eyes
She's got a handful of gimme
And a mouthful of much obliged

She begs in the mornings
She sleeps in the afternoons
She stays up all night
To beg the man in the moon

You know she's a beggin' woman
And I can see it in her eyes
She's got a handful of gimme
And a mouthful of much obliged

She'll beg Aunt Penny
And she'll beg Uncle Jake
She'll even beg the sweetness
Out of a ginger cake

You know she's a beggin' woman
And I can see it in her eyes
She's got a handful of gimme
And a mouthful of much obliged

She'll beg the plant out of your plantation
Beg New York to a Flag Station
She'll even hang around
To beg the United Nations

You know she's a beggin' woman
And I can see it in her eyes
She's got a handful of gimme
And a mouthful of much obliged


(You can tell it is a TRUELY slow day in Detroit)
