[03:02.00]put it right here (or keep it out there) - bessie smith
[03:02.00]i had a man for fifteen years
[03:02.00]give him his room and board
[03:02.00]once he was like a cadillac
[03:02.00]now you like an old worn out ford
[03:02.00]he never brought me a lousy dime
[03:02.00]and put it in my hand
[03:02.00]so there'll be some changes
[03:02.00]from now on according to my plan
[03:02.00]he's got to get it, bring it,
[03:02.00]and put it right here
[03:02.00]or else he's gonna keep it out there
[03:02.00]if he must steal it, beg it,
[03:02.00]or borrow it somewhere
[03:02.00]long as he gets it, i don't care
[03:02.00]i'm tired of fryin' pork chops
[03:02.00]to grease his fat lips
[03:02.00]and he has to find another place
[03:02.00]for the park his old hips
[03:02.00]he must get it, and bring it,
[03:02.00]and put it right here
[03:02.00]or else he's gonna keep it out there

[03:02.00]brings it to the corn
[03:02.00]else he's kicked out of his

[03:02.00]and brings it to the hen
[03:02.00]that oughta be a tip to all
[03:02.00]you no-good men
[03:02.00]the groundhog even brings it
[03:02.00]and puts it in his hole
