Preachin' Blues

Now in the good book on page 21

Says ev'ry married woman gonna have a little fun

'N' if you turn over further, boys, on page 22

Says my wife is John's wife 'n' Henry's gal too

And in the good book on page 23

Says she'll two-time you jus' like she double-crossed me

And in the good book on page 24

Says if yo' wife do the boogie firs' time look out she gon' do that some mo'

'N lemme tell ya sumpn' about that 25th page

It say that back bitin' women is all the rage

And in the good book on page 26

Says you keep your wife home, boy, if you gotta mess 'n' treat her wid a brick

Now page 27, it read like this

Say if your wife get hungry give 'er a mouthful of fist

Now in the good book on page 28

Say when you go out to work a bunch of pinch backs comin' in to yo' back gate

And the closin' of my sermon is on page 29

Says a woman get tired of one man all the time
