TODAY’S GAY WISDOM

Lyrics: Ma Rainey: Prove It On Me Blues

Went out last night, had a great big fight

Everything seemed to go on wrong I looked up, to my surprise The gal I was with was gone.

Where she went, I don’t know I mean to follow everywhere she goes;

Folks say I’m crooked. I didn’t know where she took it I want the whole world to know.

They say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me

Sure got to prove it on me;

Went out last night with a crowd of my friends,

They must’ve been women, ‘cause I don’t like no men.

It’s true I wear a collar and a tie,

Makes the wind blow all the while

Don’t you say I do it,

Ain’t nobody caught me

You sure got to prove it on me.

Say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me

Sure got to prove it on me.

I went out last night with a crowd of my friends,

It must’ve been women, ‘cause I don’t like no men.

Wear my clothes just like a fan

Talk to the gals just like any old man

Cause they say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me

Sure got to prove it on me.
