Reckless Blues

( 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
