Sweet Jivin' Mama

Sweet Jivin' Mama - Blind Blake/Simmie Dooley

Did you ever know a woman with a red

Tooth behind her smile

Did you ever know a woman with a red

Tooth behind her smile

Sometimes you thought she ought to be buried alive

When a woman act right she's sweet as sweet can be

When a woman act right she's sweet as sweet can be

A sweet talking woman made a chump out of me

I got a sweet woman she sure got me on the floor

I got a sweet woman she sure got me on the floor

She hears me coming get her husband out of doors

Sweet jivin' mama make a man done gone and

Sweet jivin' mama make a man done gone and

But a jivin' woman make a man

Oh red

My friends done tell me don't listen to no woman talk

My friends done tell me don't listen to no woman talk

But a sweet jivin' mama make me stuff my friends and walk
