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
