In My Girlish Days Lyrics
In My Girlish Days - Memphis Minnie
Late hours at night trying to play my hand
Through my window out stepped a man
I didn＇t know no better
Oh boys
In my girlish days
My mama cried papa did too
Oh daughter look what a shame on you
I didn＇t know no better
Oh boys
In my girlish days
I flagged a train didn＇t have a dime
Trying to run away from that home of mine
I didn＇t know no better
Oh boys
In my girlish days
I hit the highway caught me a truck
Nineteen and seventeen when the winter was tough
I didn＇t know no better
Oh boys
In my girlish days
(spoken: Lord play it for me now)
All of my playmates is not surprised
I had to travel ＇fore I got wise
I found out better
And I still got my girlish ways
