I've been trying to figure the lyrics for TALK ON THE CORNER from Rev. Gary Davis Biograph From Blues to Gospel
I went to http://revgarydavis.com/lyrics.html and was underwhelmed by the lyrics they've got there.
This is what I have so far:

I got a gal that's crazy about me
She's just as crazy as a gal can be
REF: She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way.

One thing about that gal I just can't understand
I found out she's just a fool about one old man.

She's gotten to the place that she don't like no woman friends.
She don't want no woman slippin' round trying to take her man.

Some people say that this gal is just tight like that.
When she call her man she always want him to be right there.

Fellas this gal is just as jealous as a gal can be
She....

This gal will work hard for you and buy your clothes and shoes.
..... you begin to have the blues.

When she starts to loving boys,....
She don't want other...

Doot Doot etc.
Can you help fill in the dots?
TIA
Brad

Somebody bid on this damn thing. Or I will send it to Max with a request that he play it from beginning to end on the radio.

Rev. Gary Davis also recorded a song called "She's Funny That Way," which I think is essentially the same song. "She's Funny That Way," appears on "Blues & Ragtime," Shanachie CD #97024, 1993. Sorry, I don't have the lyrics.

No. 1 below is the same song, but there's another Gary Davis song.

(1) SHE'S FUNNY THAT WAY

I got a gal that's crazy 'bout me
She's just as crazy as any gal can be
She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way

One thing 'bout this gal I can't understand
I found out she's just a fool 'bout one old man.
She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way

She's got to the place that she don't like no woman friends
She don't want no woman be shifting around taking her man in
She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way

Now, some people say this gal is just tight like that
But when she calls her man she always wants him to be right there
She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way

I found out this gal is just as jealous as a gal can be
She ain't satisfied when her man is right around her knee
She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way.

This gal will work hard for you evry day and buy your clothes and shoes
Come in and look for you and can't find you, she'll begin to have the blues
She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way

(2) SHE'S FUNNY THAT WAY

I found out she's a one man woman, wants to treat her man right.
And if she ever catch you crooked boy, you'll have this gal to fight
I found out she's not crazy, she's just funny that way.

She's nice and kind, she's quiet as a mouse
And she don't want you to be running around, slippin' to o ther woman's house
She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way

Now man, if you tangle up with a gal like this, you better be sure you know what you're doing
'Cause there's plenty about this gal, find enough for any young man to learn
She's not crazy, I found out she's funny that way

She's a nice country girl, she never been to no college, no man's school
But she'll let every man that she has know that she ain't nobody's fool
She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way

Before she'll go to her job she'll come to her bed and kiss you boy, leave you layin' in bed
Coma back five o'clock in the evening, look for you and can't find you, she'll go plum out of her head
She ain't crazy, she's just funny that way
