Workin' Woman Blues

Workin' Woman Blues:



by Valerie June, who was born in Jackson, TN, grew up in Humboldt, moved to Memphis in 2000 and now (I think) lives in NYC.

Lyrics:

I ain't fit to be no mother
I ain't fit to be no wife yet
I been workin' like a man, y'all
I been workin' all my life yeah

There ain't no dinner on the table
Ain't no food in the 'fridgerator
I'll go to work and I'll be back later
I go to work said I'd be back later

Lord you know I'm a good looking woman
Lord you know I'm a good looking girl ...
If you want to give me something
Anything in this great big world yeah
Lord you know that I am ready
for my sugar my sugar daddy.
