Here she comes
That ol’ rugged girl
Trying to be like those boys I reckon
Just a mess of dirty coils on her head
Her mama just didn’t do her right
Shoulda been teachin’ her how to be a young lady
‘Stead of layin up wit those men she be entertainin’
That ol’ woman ain’t worth nothing but those 2 nickels they be given her
Got her child out here lookin more like a Roy ‘stead of a Minnie
All that beautiful hair she had down her back
Poor thing
Her momma look like she chewed it and spit it out like that
Bet if she ain’t run that ol’ handsome Ulysses off
Oh yeah that Ulysses was somethin’ strong
A man’s man they say
Now I don’t lust over another woman’s man
But she didn’t know what to do with him
I heard she wasn’t doin right by him
Couldn’t keep her house
If she looked like us he’d threw her out long ago
But just cause she got hips wider than a chair
Dat don’t make her nothin special
Good thing that child nothin like her
Next time she run by here I’ll catch her with this here comb
I say “Minnie get back here and let me fix that wooly mess”
But there she go
At least the boys ain’t gon’ want her
Her momma outta be glad for that
Little Miss Minnie ain’t got to be fast
Maybe we ought to keep her lookin like that
“Oh hi Miss Darcy”
I waved
She scuffed back at me
It’s me who should be scuffin
That floozie stole my Walter
I caught him climbin out from her window
Actin like some teenage boy
Grown ass man
In the dead of night
Wasn’t the only thing to be dead had I got to him
That coward ran as soon as he seen me
Get gon!
Couldn’t be no husband of mine
Oh how I had a good laugh
That little thang flippin round without breeches
He looked crazier than a cow with clothes
That’s alright though
I’ll be sittin’ in this here chair and watch her and that house
Praying that little girl don’t be like her momma
If she do
I’ll beat it out
