LOVIN' IS THE THING I'M WILD ABOUT
by Ida Cox / Lovie Austin
recording of June 1923
from Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1 (1923) (Document 5322)

Love me daddy, love me all the time
Love me until I pass away
I'm just wild about my loving
Love me night and day
I used to have an old man who never did like loving
That man was not my kind
I found someone who likes loving like me
And you can pass my house and hear me crying

I want a man to be real nice to me and call me mama, I say mama
I don't want no man if he can't call me mama, I say mama
He's got to be nice and kind
Got to love me all the time

And when he starts loving all you can hear me saying
Oh papa, please your mama
Lord, I want a man I can play with all night long
I want a man to take back round to my mama's home
And when he loves me in that old-fashioned way
I don't mind dying everyday
Because lovin', lovin' is the thing I'm just wild about

I want a man that I can play with all night long
I want a man to take back round to my mama's home
And when he loves me in that old fashioned way
I don't mind dying every day
Because lovin', lovin' is the thing I'm just wild about

Or

Listen here, people,
I'm about to sing a song.
I'm goin' to St. Louie
And I won't be long,

'Cause I'm wild about my lovin'.
I like to have my fun.
If you wanna be a girl of mine,
Ya gotta bring it with you when you come.

Which one Roger?

From the performances he quoted, he obviously wants Don Meixner's version.

WILD ABOUT MY LOVING
(Trad/Joyce/McGann & others)

1)Listen here, people, 'bout to sing a song
Going to St Louis, won't be long
I'm wild about my loving, like to have my fun
If you wanna be a girl of mine*
Bring it with you when you come

2)Sergeant Jones, Chief of Police
Women round here don't give me no peace
'Cause I'm wild…

3)Well, hello, Central, what's the matter with the line
I wanna talk to that high brown of mine
I'm wild…

4)I ain't no iceman, no iceman's son
But I'll keep you cool till the ice man come
'Cause I'm wild…

5)I ain't no fireman, no fireman's son
But I'll keep you warm till the fireman come**
'Cause I'm wild…

6) Don't want no sugar in my tea
'Cause the girl I love is sweet enough for me
I'm wild…

7)I ain't no boxer, no boxer's son
Go ten rounds in the bedroom till the boxer come
'Cause I'm wild about…

8)I'm no insurance agent, just an insurance agent's son
But if you want a big endowment I can show you one
'Cause I'm wild about my loving…

(* On various versions I hear "my taste" or "my dream" here.
Verses 1-3 Memphis Jug Band, verses 4-7 Levee Breakers/ Mac McGann, verse 8 RtS (partly autobiographical, partly groundless braggadocio).
** Steve Benbow's Protégé offers an alternative to verse 5 line 2: "I'll stoke your boiler till the fireman come")

Thanks to SBP and Mac McGann for transcription.

Even the Stone Poneys (Linda Ronstadt girl singer) did a version of it in the '60s.

WILD ABOUT MY LOVIN' --Gus Cannon

---------------------------------------------

Well now, listen here people
I'm about to sing a song
I'm goin' to Saint Louis
And I won't be long
'Cause I'm wild about my lovin'
I like to have my fun
If you want to be a girl of mine
You got to bring it with you
When you come

Well now, Sergeant Jones - Chief of Police
The women 'round here
Won't let me see no peace
'Cause I'm wild about my lovin'
I like to have my fun
If you want to be a girl of mine
You got to bring it with you
When you come

Hello Central, what's the matter with your line?
I wanna talk to that
high-brow friend of mine
You hear me talkin' to you
I don't bite my tongue
If you wanna be a girl of mine
You got to bring it with you
When you come

Best of Cannon's Jug Stompers
