Any Woman's Blues
by Lovie Austin recording of October 16 1923 from The Complete Recordings, Vol. 1 (Columbia/Legacy C2K-47091) My man ain't acting right, he stays out late at night And still he says he loves no one but me But if I find that gal, that tries to steal my pal I'll get her told, just you wait and see I feel blue, I don't know what to do Every woman in my fix is bound to feel blue too, 'cause I love my man better than I love myself Lord, I love my man better than I love myself And if he don't have me, he won't have nobody else My man's got teeth like a lighthouse on the sea My man's got teeth like a lighthouse on the sea And ev'rytime he smiles he throws them lights on me His voice sounds like chimes, I mean the organ kind His voice sounds like chimes, I mean the organ kind And ev'rytime he speaks his music ease my troubling mind __________ Note 1: in my fix, in my place or position. Derived from fixing a position, by a ship for instance.
