Lyrics Cross and Evil Woman Blues - Reverend Gary Davis

Cross and Evil Woman Blues

Lord, you women, sure do treat me mean
Lord, you women, sure do treat me mean
Why you treat me just like I was, some man who’s never been seen
When ya find a woman wake up in the morning, with a rag towel around her head
Ya found a woman wake up in the morning, with a rag towel around her head
She got a evil mind, to kill some poor man dead
She get up cross and evil, and can’t hardly be pleased
She get up cross and evil, and she can’t hardly be pleased
Nothing you can do to please that woman, if you get down on your bended knee
Don’t a woman feel good and satisfied, when she know she’s got a man of her own?
Don’t a woman feel good and satisfied, when she know she’s got a man of her own?
Don’t she feel hot and evil, when she know some no good woman is hippin' along?
Speak ta me.
Ya get a jealous-hearted woman, she’s the kind of woman that’s hard to quit
You’ll get a jealous-hearted woman, she’s a woman that’s hard to quit
If ya ever get on your hands, sure God never quit her yet
Lord, when jealous-hearted woman started lovin', she get’s crazy get out’ve mind
When a jealous-hearted woman start ta lovin', she get’s crazy get’s plumb out
of her mind
Aw, she want a shot-gun or razor, ice-pick or piece of pistol she can find
