I Was Afraid of That - Part 2

by The Hokum Boys

on Blind Blake Vol. 3 (1928 - 1929) (1991)

Got a hot gal, she's all wet
After everything she can get
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
She just wants money
I was afraid of that

She's got a way that I can't oin
Calling me her monkey man
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
She just wants money
I was afraid of that

I met a gal who was hot
"Hello Papa how much have you got?"
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
She just wanted money
I was afraid of that

Got a train down to Tennessee
While I was goin' my baby trifled on me
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
She just wanted money
I was afraid of that

I went to see this place had the blues
While I was gone my baby drank my booze
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
She just wants money
I was afraid of that

Have no mansion live in a shack
Thought my lovin' would bring her back
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
She just wants money
I was afraid of that

He's kitchen mechanic that's a treat
You had to bet Brown Betties's that ever was need
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
She just wants money
I was afraid of that

Some folks don't know what a good gal is
You oughta see that gal when a _____ has ____
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
She just wants money
I was afraid of that

Ashes to ashes sand to sand
Show me a woman who wants to shop for a man
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
She just wants money
I was afraid of that

I've been to Frisco been to Maine
Every place I go all women the same
I was afraid of that, I was afraid of that
They all want money
I was afraid of that
