Ma Rainey - Goodbye Daddy Blues

Shave Em Dry Blues

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
