Lyrics Cross and Evil Woman Blues - Reverend Gary Davis

Lord, you women, sure do treat me mean
Lord, you women, sure do treat me mean
Why you treat me just like I was, some man who's never been seen

When you find a woman wake up in the morning, with a rag towel around her head
You found a woman wake up in the morning, with a rag towel around her head
She got a evil mind, to kill some poor man dead

She get up cross and evil, and can't hardly be pleased
She get up cross and evil, and she can't hardly be pleased
Nothing you can do to please that woman, if you get down on your bended knee

Don't a woman feel good and satisfied, when she know she's got a man of her own?
Don't a woman feel good and satisfied, when she know she's got a man of her own?
Don't she feel hot and evil, when she know some no good woman is hippin' along?

Speak to me

You get a jealous-hearted woman, she's the kind of woman that's hard to quit
You'll get a jealous-hearted woman, she's a woman that's hard to quit
If you ever get on your hands, sure God never quit her yet

Lord, when jealous-hearted woman started lovin', she get's crazy get out've mind
When a jealous-hearted woman start to lovin', she get's crazy get's plumb out of her mind
Aw, she want a shot-gun or razor, ice-pick or piece of pistol she can find
