NEW AGE WOMAN BLUES
As sung by Roy Book Binder on "Singer-Songwriter Bluesman" (2001)
She don't drink and she don't smoke.
I don't believe that the girl fools with dope,
But watch out; she's got them new-age ways.
(If) Tarot cards don't tell everything.
The girl throws the coins and she asks I Ching.
No need to talk with me 'cause she got him.
She knows I ain't got no maps of stars and moons,
No Chinese guru up in my room,
No tea leaves in my cup to guide my way.
She got crystal balls and tea leaves too
And said that the gypsy always knew
When it was time for her to stay or time to go.
She used to say: "Roy your moon's risin' and your sun's goin' down."
She'd check my chart 'fore I left town.
Before I met the gal, I often wonder how I ever got around.
'Cause I didn't have no maps of stars and moons,
No Chinese guru up in my room,
No tea leaves in my cup to guide my way.
[guitar break]
Now she got a rabbit's foot and a mojo too,
And God only knows which tells her what to do.
When I fly the coop, she know just where I flew.
I guess I better let that little girl go.
She got too many friends I don't know.
Wish I knew back then what I now know.
But I still ain't got no maps of stars and moons,
No Chinese guru up in my room,
No tea leaves in my cup to guide my way.
She don't drink and she don't smoke.
I don't believe that the girl fools with dope,
But watch out; she's got new-age ways.
Ooh, you better watch out; the girl's got new-age ways.
[* A slightly different version is on "Polk City Ramble" (1998).]
