Kitchen Mechanic Blues

by Clara Smith

on I Ain't a Gamblin' Woman, I Got Such-A Rowdy Ways (2018)

Women talk about me and lies on me, calls me out of my name
They talk about me, they lies on, calls me out of my name
Cause their men come to see me, that's the thing

I'm just a working gal, poor working gal, kitchen mechanic is what they say
I'm just a working gal, poor working gal, kitchen mechanic is what they say
But I'll have a honest dollar on that rainy day

If you take my daddy, take my daddy, I hope you'll be kind and sweet
If you take my daddy, take my daddy, I hope you'll be kind and sweet
Just like you take him from me, somedody's sure to take him from you

You can cheat on me, you can steal on me, you can fool me all along
You can cheat on me, you can steal on me, you can fool me all along
All I ask you daddy, please don't let me catch you wrong

Cause you can do it once, you can do it twice, but you can't do it all the time
You can do it once, you can do it twice, but you can't do it all the time
You'll put on your last clean shirt when you clean up this kitchen of mine
