Ida Cox
One Time Woman Blues
[Verse 1]
Some bob-haired flapper came and stole my man away
Some bob-haired flapper came and stole my man away
He's been gone two years, but it seems to me like yesterday

[Verse 2]
I'll get me a cannon, pistol, and a submarine
I'll get me a cannon, pistol, and a submarine
To blow down every man that treats a one-time woman mean

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna lay in bed with my face turned to the wall
I'm gonna lay in bed with my face turned to the wall
And I won't turn over 'til I hear my daddy call

[Verse 4]
One of these mornings, hе's going to wake up almost dead
One of thеse mornings, he's going to wake up almost dead
And the doctor will be takin' stitches all across his head

[Verse 5]
But here is something that he don't seem to understand
But here is something he don't seem to understand
I'm a one-time woman, and I don't want no two-time man
