Turtle Blues
I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't mean no man, no good
I'm a mean, mean woman,
I don't mean no man, no good
I just treats 'em like I wants to
Honey I never treats 'em, like I should.
Well I once had a daddy,
Said he'd give me everything in sight.
Well I Once had a daddy,
Said he'd give me everything in sight.
So I said, "Honey, I want the sunshine,
you take the stars out of the night.
I ain't the kind of woman
Who'd make your life a bed of ease
No I ain't the kind of woman
To make your life a bed of ease.
But if you wanna go out drinkin', honey,
Won't you invite me along please.
I guess I'm just like a turtle
Hidin' underneath its hardened shell.
Yeah I guess I'm just like a turtle
Hidin' underneath its hardened shell.
But you know I'm very well protected -
I know this goddamn life too well.
Now call me mean, call me evil,
I've been called so much of those things around,
Call me mean, call me evil
I've been called some of those things around,
Honey nothing's going to dog me down.
I don't mean no man, no good
I'm a mean, mean woman,
I don't mean no man, no good
I just treats 'em like I wants to
Honey I never treats 'em, like I should.
Well I once had a daddy,
Said he'd give me everything in sight.
Well I Once had a daddy,
Said he'd give me everything in sight.
So I said, "Honey, I want the sunshine,
you take the stars out of the night.
I ain't the kind of woman
Who'd make your life a bed of ease
No I ain't the kind of woman
To make your life a bed of ease.
But if you wanna go out drinkin', honey,
Won't you invite me along please.
I guess I'm just like a turtle
Hidin' underneath its hardened shell.
Yeah I guess I'm just like a turtle
Hidin' underneath its hardened shell.
But you know I'm very well protected -
I know this goddamn life too well.
Now call me mean, call me evil,
I've been called so much of those things around,
Call me mean, call me evil
I've been called some of those things around,
Honey nothing's going to dog me down.
