Reckless Blues

Reckless Blues - Bessie Smith

When I wasn't nothin' but a child

When I wasn't nothin' but a child

All you men tried to drive me wild

Now I'm growin' old

Now I'm growin' old

And I've got what it takes

To get all of you men told

My mama says I'm reckless

My daddy says I'm wild

My mama says I'm reckless

My daddy says I'm wild

I ain't good lookin'

But I'm somebody's angel child

Daddy mama wants some lovin'

Daddy mama wants some huggin'

Darn it pretty papa

Mama wants some lovin' I vow

Darn pretty papa

Mama wants some lovin' right now
