Reckless Blues lyrics

( Bessie Smith )



When I wasn`t nothing but a child

When I wasn`t nothing but a child

All you men tried to drive me wild



Now I`m, now I`m growing old

Now, now I`m growing old

And I`ve got what it takes to get all of you men told



My mama says I`m reckless, my daddy says I`m wild

My mama says I`m reckless, my daddy says I`m wild

I ain`t good looking but I`m somebody`s angel child



Daddy, mama wants some loving

Daddy, mama need some hugging

Darn it pretty papa

Mama wants some lovin` I vow

Darn pretty papa

Mama wants some lovin` right now
