Safety Mama (Remaster) - Bessie Smith[00:00:00]
Written by:Bessie Smith[00:00:01]
Let me tell you[00:00:12]
How and why what no-good man done to me[00:00:14]
He called me pretty young and wild[00:00:24]
After that he let me be[00:00:30]
He'd taken advantage of my youth[00:00:36]
And that you understand[00:00:42]
So wait a while[00:00:47]
I'll show you chile[00:00:50]
Just how to treat a no-good man[00:00:54]
Make him stay at home wash and iron[00:00:59]
Tell all the neighbors he done lost his mind[00:01:07]
Give your house rent shake[00:01:12]
On Saturday night[00:01:15]
Monday morning you'll hold collectors good and tight[00:01:18]
You see a man you really like[00:01:25]
Let him bite that monkey brother in his back[00:01:31]
When his cruel heart turn his love breaks down[00:01:36]
Hold him where you got him make him stay in town[00:01:43]
'Cause I'm a safety woman lookin' for a safety man[00:01:48]
I made him stay at home help me wash and iron[00:02:00]
The neighbors know he done lost his mind[00:02:07]
I give a house rent shake one Saturday night[00:02:12]
Monday morning I held collectors good and tight[00:02:18]
I've seen a man I really like[00:02:25]
I let him bite that monkey brother smack in his back[00:02:30]
When his cruel heart turn his love breaks down[00:02:35]
I hold it where I had it and he stayed in town[00:02:42]
I'm a safety woman[00:02:47]
And I had to have a safety man[00:02:50]
Say I ain't good lookin' I'm built for speed[00:02:57]
I've got ev'rything a pigmeat needs[00:03:06]
'Cause I'm a safety woman[00:03:10]
Ah lookin' for a safety man[00:03:14]
