Papa Charlie Jackson - Shave 'em Dry lyrics

Now here's one thing, can't understand It's why a bow-legged woman likes a knock-kneed man Mama, can I holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry Now I'm going downtown, spread the news State Street women wearin' brogan shoes Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry Now I'm going away to wear you off my mind You keep me broke and hungry, mama, all the time Mama, can I holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry Now here's one thing I can't understand A good-lookin woman likes a workin' man Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry Now, don't see how you hungry women can sleep You gimme all day without a bite to eat Mama, let me holler, daddy, let me shave 'em dry Now if it wasn't for the powder, store-bought hair State Street women couldn't go nowhere Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry Now I went to the Jew the other night The people on State Street were trying to flight Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry I ain't crazy about the yella, a fool about the sound You can't tell the difference when the sun go down Mama, let me holler, daddy, let me shave 'em dry When you see two women runnin' hand-by-hand You bet your bottom dollar one's got the other one's man Mama, let me holler, daddy, let me shave 'em dry Now run here, mama, lay back in my arms If your man catch you, I don't mean no harm Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry
