It's a Good Thing - Beale Street Sheiks[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:00]

It's a good thing[00:00:01]

It's a good thing[00:00:04]

Now I wanna do a good thing[00:00:06]

Now when I was young got in my prime[00:00:13]

Chase these different women all the time[00:00:16]

I had a woman got her name was Lucy[00:00:19]

Got almighty devil what that woman wouldn't do[00:00:22]

Another woman got her name Henrietta[00:00:25]

Talk to six straight men say she knows no better[00:00:28]

Another woman got her name was Jenny[00:00:31]

Talked to white folks black folks she wouldn't give a[00:00:34]

Penny[00:00:36]

Another woman got her name was Mattie[00:00:37]

She's a-slipping and a-stalling in some dark alley[00:00:39]

Another woman got her name was Mae[00:00:43]

A rich man only got every day[00:00:46]

I knocked Mae down I stomped in her face[00:00:48]

Half her trouble must both to read[00:00:52]

I went to the workhouse to work out my time[00:00:55]

And the same doggone woman on my mind[00:00:57]

In time I got out I drunk a little gin[00:01:00]

I told right back to Mae's house again[00:01:03]

By time I got in the house that you're ready to have a[00:01:06]

Little fun[00:01:08]

Made me come back about[00:01:08]

I gotten more than one it's a good thing[00:01:10]

It's a good thing[00:01:14]

It's a good thing[00:01:17]

More than one woman[00:01:19]

Now let me tell you a something don't you[00:01:22]

Raise no fuss[00:01:25]

Boys these young women want to do their stuff[00:01:25]

From their legs and from their ankles and do their knees[00:01:28]

You're pulling down the devilment as they can be[00:01:31]

While you're out man trying to this plan[00:01:34]

She's a-winking and a-blinking at another man[00:01:37]

You get out at night you peeping through a crack[00:01:40]

I wonder how long before my man gets back[00:01:42]

A man get back you ready to have a little fun[00:01:45]

Before you get out of sight he got more than one[00:01:48]

It's a good thing[00:01:51]

It's a good thing[00:01:53]

It's a good thing[00:01:56]

And now I'm getting old Lord my head's getting grey[00:02:01]

Lord I'm not bow-legged but I walk that way[00:02:04]

I claim to see the oldest rat of the barge[00:02:07]

I known about the women long before I got grown[00:02:10]

But some in the daytime some at night[00:02:13]

How in the world can you treat any living man right[00:02:15]

Any time you get out you're ready crap you're here[00:02:18]

Turn around and slipping down jumping in your bed[00:02:21]

He jumped in your bed he begin to have a little fun[00:02:24]

Anything you want to know got a little lunch done[00:02:26]

A little lunch done from three to four[00:02:29]

Talk it around before your old man go[00:02:32]

You may be brown-skin you color may be black[00:02:34]

What I say about you women I won't take it back[00:02:37]

I get drunk love to have my fun[00:02:40]

But all the women got more than one[00:02:42]

It's a good thing[00:02:45]

It's a good thing[00:02:47]

It's a good thing[00:02:50]

Now more than one woman never do[00:02:52]
