The Old Hag Is Sleeping |
| My baby’s angry, he’s always so angry |
| He smiles only when he can give me abuse |
| What’s the use? |
| What’s the use? |
| The church bells are busted again |
| And at cakewalk class, I’m out of sync |
| I peek at Granddad’s watch and take a drink |
| A linen being pawned on a eclipse |
| Pack the swatches in the pony-cart |
| Before the gate, he squints and is ready to start |
| My baby’s angry, he’s always so angry |
| At best, he ignores me and don’t curse and stare |
| Despair, oh, despair |
| He gets pink roses sent by |
| The other woman now lives upstairs |
| You think, she thinks he really cares? |
| Well, I go and retire by nine |
| He’s in the Kansas City Cabinet today |
| Pretend I’m asleep, I hear him say |
| The old hag is sleeping |
| Now old hag stay sleeping |
| If you never wake up |
| It’s heaven as it were widower, widower |
| My baby’s angry, he’s always so angry |
| He smiles only when he can give me abuse |
| What’s the use? |
| What’s the use? |
