Ida Cox, 1929

I hear these women raving 'bout their monkey men
'Bout their fighting husbands and their no good friends
These poor women sit around all day and moan
Wonderin' why their wanderin' papas don't come home
Wild Women don't worry, wild women don't have the blues

Now, when you got a man, don't ever be on the square
Cuz if you do he'll have a women everywhere
I never was known to treat no one man right
I keep them working hard both day and night
Wild Women don't worry, wild women don't have no blues

I've got a disposition and a way of my own
When my man starts kicking I let him find another home
I get full of good liquor walk the streets all night
Go home and put my man out if he don't act right
Wild Women don't worry,wild women don't have the blues

You never get nothing by being in angel, child
You better change your ways and get real wild
I want to tell you something, I wouldn't tell you no lie
Wild women are the only kind that ever get by
Wild women don't worry, wild women don't have the blues
