Contents:

v. 1. 1923-1925. Satisfied blues

Double crossin' daddy

You need some lovin'

If mama quits papa, what will papa do?

Papa, don't you mean your mama no good?

A woman gets tired of one man all of the time

The gal ain't born who can treat me like you do

I'm goin' out tonight and strut my stuff

You ain't quittin' me without two weeks' notice

I won't stand no leavin' now

It takes a brownskin man to make a high yellow blue

He's never gonna throw me down

No second-handed lovin' for mine

If you hit my dog I'll kick your cat

Hard headed gal

I'm tired of begging you to treat me right

How can I get it (when you keep on snatchin' it back)

Hoodoo blues

I can do what you do

Chain gang blues

When you go huntin', I'm goin' fishin'

Oh! Dark gal

Some baby, my gal

Levee blues

You can't proposition me

Hit me but don't quit me

When I get the devil in me

It ain't a doggone thing but the blues

Yodelin' the blues away
