My Back To The Wall (16975)

My Back To The Wall(16975) - Irene Scruggs

Everyone is screaming trouble

Times ain't like they used to be

Everyone is screaming trouble

Times ain't like they used to be

You can hardly hold your man

Your job is uncertain guarantee

Well hard luck had me running

Now my back is turned to the wall

Hard luck had me running

My back is turned to the wall

But no matter what you say

A good woman never falls

Well you talk about drunken women

I mean walk the streets all night

While you talk about drunkin' women

I mean walk the streets all night

But that's the only kind of woman

That you men are going to treat right

So don't be no idle woman

Don't be no sand foot clown

Don't be no idle woman

Don't be no sand foot clown

If your man is double crossing

Don't you start to runnin' round

Now I'll tell you the reason

I don't like a single man much

How will tell you the reason

I don't like a single man much

Well a single man's all right

But he ain't got that married man's touch
