"Baby, I Done Got Wise" lyrics
"Baby, I Done Got Wise"
(originally by Big Bill Broonzy)
A gypsy woman, she told me
To let them women be
She said, "A man's your best friend"
I said, "Are you tellin' me?"
I done got wise to the way you women do
You've been tryin' to trick me, baby
But yeah, the tricks have turned on you
I don't know whether my woman was jokin'
Or what she tryin' to do
I done pulled the right card
And I'm paid just like you
I done got wise to the way you women do
You've been tryin' to trick me, baby
But yeah, the tricks have turned on you
When I used to come from work
You had four or five cousins around
I got me a cousin
Since I come to town
I done got wise to the way you women do
You've been tryin' to trick me, baby
But yeah, the tricks have turned on you
There's fifty-two cards in the deck
I want you to deal me ten
If you can gamble with the women
I'm gonna gamble with the men
I done got wise to the way you women do
You've been tryin' to trick me, darling
But yeah, the tricks have turned on you

Bo Diddley - "I'm A Man" Now when I was a little boy
At the age of five
I had somethin' in my pocket
Keep a lot of folks alive

Made twenty-one

We can have a lot of fun
I'm a man
I spell M-A-N......
