Thread Name: Chord Req: Women Be Wise
Subject: Lyr Add: WOMEN BE WISE (Sippie Wallace)
Here's a Video showing the basic guitar chords for "Women Be Wise" (although the guy's guitar work doesn't look all that "basic" to me. LOL ). Pretty sure you could do the song without barre chords (or without many) if you wanted to.
Sing Out! magazine also has the lyrics and chords (sheet music, I think, for this song in this issue:
Women Be Wise ......... v.38#1 ......... p.70 (Beulah Sippie Wallace)
WOMEN, BE WISE (Sippie Wallace - Additional lyrics by John Beach) Olwen Music- BMI
Women, be wise, Keep your mouth shut, Don't advertise your man. Don't sit around gossiping, explaining What your good man really can do Some women nowadays, Lord, They ain't no good. They will laugh in your face, Then try to steal your man from you. Women, be wise, Keep your mouth shut, Don't advertise your man.
Your best girlfriend, she might be a highbrow, She changes clothes 3 times a day. What do you think she's doing now, While you're so far away? She's loving your man In your own damn bed. You better call for the doctor, mama, Try to investigate your head. Women, be wise, Keep your mouth shut, Don't advertise your man.
Women, be wise, Keep your mouth shut, Don't advertise your man. Don't sit around, girl, Telling all your secrets, Relling all those good things He really can do. If you talk about your baby, You tell me he's so fine, Lord, honey, I just might sneak up And try to make him mine. Women, be wise, Keep your mouth shut, Don't advertise your man.
Don't be no fool, Don't advertise your man! (Baby, don't do it.)
