Pinch Back Blues

Girls, I wanna tell you about these sweet men
 These men goin' around here tryin' to play cute
 I'm hard on you boys, yes sir!
 ♪
 I fell in love with a sweet man once
 He said he loved me too
 He said if I'd run away with him
 What nice things he would do
 I'd travel around from town to town
 How happy I would feel
 But don't you know he would not work
 Girls, take this tip from me
 Get a working man when you marry
 And let all these sweet men be
 Child, it takes money to run a business
 And with me, I know you girls will agree
 There's one thing about this married life
 That these young girls have got to know
 Say, if a sweet man enter your front gate
 Turn out your light and lock your door
 Yes, get a working man when you marry
 Let all these pinch backs be
 Child, it takes money to run a business
 And with me, I know you girls will agree
 And if this panic stays on much longer
 I'll hear all these young girls say
 That it's a long way to Oklahoma
 But these little pinch backs, take them away
