Memphis Minnie - In My Girlish DaysLyrics

Late hours at night, trying to play my hand Through my window, out stepped a man I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days My mama cried, papa did, too Oh, daughter, look what a shame on you I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days I flagged a train, didn't have a dime Trying to run away from that home of mine I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days I hit the highway, caught me a truck Nineteen and seventeen, when the winter was tough I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days Lord, play it for me now All of my playmates is not surprised, I had to travel 'fore I got wise I found out better And I still got my girlish ways
