It's a good thing

It's a good thing

Now I wanna do a good thing

Now when I was young got in my prime

Chase these different women all the time

I had a woman got her name was Lucy

Got almighty devil what that woman wouldn't do

Another woman got her name Henrietta

Talk to six straight men say she knows no better

Another woman got her name was Jenny

Talked to white folks black folks she wouldn't give a

Penny

Another woman got her name was Mattie

She's a-slipping and a-stalling in some dark alley

Another woman got her name was Mae

A rich man only got every day

I knocked Mae down I stomped in her face

Half her trouble must both to read

I went to the workhouse to work out my time

And the same doggone woman on my mind

In time I got out I drunk a little gin

I told right back to Mae's house again

By time I got in the house that you're ready to have a

Little fun

Made me come back about

I gotten more than one it's a good thing

It's a good thing

It's a good thing

More than one woman

Now let me tell you a something don't you

Raise no fuss

Boys these young women want to do their stuff

From their legs and from their ankles and do their knees

You're pulling down the devilment as they can be

While you're out man trying to this plan

She's a-winking and a-blinking at another man

You get out at night you peeping through a crack

I wonder how long before my man gets back

A man get back you ready to have a little fun

Before you get out of sight he got more than one

It's a good thing

It's a good thing

It's a good thing

And now I'm getting old Lord my head's getting grey

Lord I'm not bow-legged but I walk that way

I claim to see the oldest rat of the barge

I known about the women long before I got grown

But some in the daytime some at night

How in the world can you treat any living man right

Any time you get out you're ready crap you're here

Turn around and slipping down jumping in your bed

He jumped in your bed he begin to have a little fun

Anything you want to know got a little lunch done

A little lunch done from three to four

Talk it around before your old man go

You may be brown-skin you color may be black

What I say about you women I won't take it back

I get drunk love to have my fun

But all the women got more than one

It's a good thing

It's a good thing

It's a good thing

Now more than one woman never do
