Hi-here is CHUMP MAN BLUES. I'll try to sort out JIVIN' WOMAN a little later when I've found my recording of it.

CHUMP MAN BLUES
I'm going to the river, take a great big jump (x2)
I used to be a wise man but a woman made me a chump.

It sure is funny how hard a man can fall (x2)
When he gets to thinking one woman has got it all.

My baby throwed me out and I started walkin' down the track (x2)
And then I went home and begged her to take me back.

She ain't no good but I can't quit her nohow
She ain't no good but I can't quit her somehow
I used to be a wildcat, this woman is(sic)tamed me down

She don't act sweet, shes a mean and nagging kind (x2)
She got a new quiver, make a strong man lose his mind.

Sorry but I don't have Jiving Woman Blues by Blind Boy Fuller in my records, but here are two verses from another version of the same song, I hope that this helps:

Got a girl called Betty May
Goes out and trucks all day
Not crazy, but just jiving that way

Goes to bed early at night
Ask about loving, she wants to fuss and fight
Not crazy but just jiving that way

The version Of "Jivin' Woman" I found is attributed to: by Deadric Malone/Herman "Junior" Parker

I don't know if it is what you seek.

JIVIN' WOMAN

Jivin' woman, it's time you changed your way
Hey, I'm talkin' to you jivin' woman, it's time you changed your way
Well you better hurry baby, someone else will take your place

Seven days in a week, not one you stay at home
Seven days in a week baby and not one you stay at home
What you doin' jivin' woman, baby you know that I know is wrong

I heard some people talkin', and I heard them all say
That all you wanted me for, was to give you all a my pay
But now you're tellin' me, not a word they say is true

Well you better be right jivin' woman, 'cause I'll do something to you
Jivin' woman, I done told you change your way
Well you better hurry baby, someone else will take your place

JIVIN' WOMAN BLUES
(Words and Music by Blind Boy Fuller)

Got a gal you call Danny Mae--she goes out and truck all day
She ain't crazy but she's just jivin' that way
Oh ba-bum baby oh zazz zee
Oh bee bum ba bum ba bum ba bam
Ba bum bee-bum ba zee zazz zazz!

Say you can never tell, what some of these women's mind. (2x)
Yeah, keep you huggin' and kissin' you and treatin' you all the time.

Said, I went home this morning, 'twixt nine thirty and ten. (2x)
Yeah, I met that woman's second man, right right back in my den.

Says, she's a dirty mistreater and she drove me from her door. (2x)
Yeah, the good book said mama, you got to reap just what you sow.

Said, a woman's just like a dollar, dollar go from hand to hand. (2x)
Yeah, some these low down women just run from man to man.

Now you know my woman says she loves me, she's been loving me all her life. (2x)
Yeah, she met a second man on that corner, she told him that same lie twice.
