O Lord, I been a-working
You spend all my money
You won't bake my biscuits,
I'd be better off
I'd rather be a-hanging
Emrich, Duncan, American Folk Poetry - An Anthology, Chapter "Oh, I Wish I were Single Again: Brown and Co. 1974 p185.
Sincerely, |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: TRIFLING WOMEN From: Sandy Paton Date: 05 May 05 - 01:51 AM Title should be "Triflin' Woman" -- not Women. Emrich omits Frank's spoken asides ("You triflin' woman, you!" and "You're runnin' me crazy, woman!") which Frank used when he recorded the song for me. I like 'em. Emrich's book, however, is a fine source of texts and has a splendid bibliography prepared by Joe Hickerson that is worth the price of the book. Sandy |
