Ida Cox
Four Day Creep (1939 Vocalion Version)
[Verse 1]
When you lose your money, don't lose your mind
When you lose your money, don't lose your mind
When you lose your good man, please don't mess with mine
[Verse 2]
And I'm gonna buy me a bulldog to watch my man while he sleeps
I'm gonna buy me a bulldog to watch my man while he sleeps
Men are so doggone crooked, afraid he might make a 'fore day creep
[Verse 3]
Girls, I'm gonna tell you this, ain't gonna tell you nothin' else
Girls, I'm gonna tell you this, ain't gonna tell you nothin' else
Any woman's a fool who thinks she's got a whole man by herself
[Verse 4]
But if you got a good man and don't want him taken away from you
Girls, if you got a good man and don't want him taken away from you
Don't ever tell your friend, woman, what your man can do
[Verse 5]
Lord, Lord, I'm getting up in years
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, I'm getting up in years
But mama ain't too old to shift her gears
[Verse 6]
And I'm a big fat mama, got the meat shakin' on my bones
I'm a big fat mama, got the meat shakin' on my bones
And every time I shake, some skinny gal loses her home
