In My Girlish Days
Memphis Minnie
[Verse 1]
Late hours at night, trying to play my hand
Through my window, out stepped a man
I didn t know no better
Oh Lord, in my girlish days
[Verse 2]
My mama cried, papa did, too
Oh, daughter, what a shame on you
I didn t know no better
Oh Lord, in my girlish days
[Verse 3]
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 Lord, in my girlish days
[Verse 4]
I hit the highway, caught me a truck
Nineteen and seventeen, when the winter was tough
I didn t know no better
Oh Lord, in my girlish days
[Verse 5]
All of my playmates is not surprised,
I had to travel b fore I got wise
I found out better
And I still got my girlish ways
