Young Woman’s Blues

Bessie Smith

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin' when chickens were crowin' for day
And on the right side of my pillow my man had gone away
By his pillow he left a note
Reading, "I'm sorry, Jane, you got my goat
No time to marry, no time to settle down"

[Verse 2]
I'm a young woman, and I ain't done running around
Whoa-oh, I'm a young woman, and I ain't done running around
Some people call me a hobo, some call me a bum
Nobody knows my name, nobody knows what I've done
I'm as good as any woman in your town

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I ain't goin' to marry, ain't goin' to settle down
I'm gonna drink good moonshine, and run these old gals down
See that long, lonesome road, oh, Lord, You know it's gotta end
And I'm a good, good woman, and I can get plenty men
