B.D. Woman’s Blues

Song by Lucille Bogan

Coming a time, B.D. women ain't gon' need no men Coming a time, B.D. womens ain't gon' to need no men Oh, the way treat us is a lowdown and dirty sin

B.D. women, you sure can't understand B.D. women, you sure can't understand They got a head like a sweet angel and they walk just like a natural man

B.D. women, they all done learnt their plan B.D. women, they all done learnt their plan They can lay their jive just like a natural man

B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough

They all drink up plenty whiskey and they sure will strut their stuff B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough And when they get ready to spend it, they know they have to go
