Subject: Lyr Add: DON'T HAPPEN NO MORE (Young Jessie)
You can hear this at YouTube:


DON'T HAPPEN NO MORE
As recorded by Young Jessie, 1956.

1. There used to be a time when man was a king.
To work for a man was a woman's only dream.
Ever'thing he did was certainly all right.
He never had to worry 'bout a-fussin' and a-fightin'.

CHORUS: Don't happen no mo'.
That was long time ago.
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed.

2. There used to be a time when a woman wouldn't smoke.
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't vote.
She used to stay at home while her man went out to play.
She was satisfied with life any old way.

3. There used to be a time when a woman could cook.
There used to be a time she didn't worry 'bout her looks.
She used to sip on sassafras, didn't even drink.
She didn't try to tell her man how to think.
