Do Your Duty (feat. Benny Goodman, Jack Teagarden & Chu Berry)

Do Your Duty - Bessie Smith

If I call three times a day baby

Come and drive my blues away

When you come be ready to play

Do your duty

If you want to have some love

Give your baby your last buck

Don't come quackin' like a duck

Do your duty

I heard you said you didn't love me baby

Mrs Brown

I don't believe a word she said

She's the lyingest woman in town

Oh babe when I need attention at home

I'll just call you on the telephone

Come yourself don't send your friend Jones

Do your duty

If my radiator gets too hot

Cool it off in lots of spots

Give me all the service you've got

Do your duty

If you don't know what it's all about

Don't sit around my house and pout

If you do you'll catch your mama tippin' out

Do your duty

If you make your own bed hard

That's the way it lies

If I'm tired of sleepin' by myself

You're too dumb to realize

I'm not tryin' to make you feel blue

I'm not satisfied with the way you do

I've got to help you find somebody to

Do your duty
