The Spasm

Daddy Stovepipe and Mississippi Sarah (1935)

Sarah: My man treats me like a dog. I don’t mean to be so bold,

but I’m gonna get these women told!

You ask my man for a meal, you spasm, you

You ask my man for a meal, you lowdown hound

You ask my mean for a meal

Something else you’re trying to steal

I’ll be glad when you’re dead, you spasm, you

You showed my wife how to dance, you no-good rat

You showed my wife how to dance, you pop-eyed hound

You showed my wife how to dance

You brought her back without her pants

I’ll be glad when you’re gone, you dog

I wanna know what is that you got, you spasm, you

I wanna know what is that you got, you spasm, you

I wanna know what is that you got

That makes my man so doggone hot

I’ll be glad when you’re dead, you spasm, you

You begged my wife for a watch and chain, you hound

You begged my wife for a watch and chain, you dog

You begged my wife for a watch and chain

Just for a chance to shake that thing

I’ll be glad when you’re gone, you spasm, you

I say a bow-legged woman’s like a snake in the grass, you hound

Well a bow-legged woman’s like a snake in the grass, you dog

A bow-legged woman’s like a snake in the grass

A good fool lands on his yas yas yas

I’ll be glad when you’re dead, you dog

I peeked through the keyhole and looked, you no-good rat

I peeked through the keyhole and looked, you pop-eyed fool

I peeked through the keyhole and looked

What you was doing wasn’t in the book

I’ll be glad when you’re gone, you no-good rat

I went to the river and I couldn’t get across, you hound

I went to the river and I couldn’t get across, you dog

I went to the river and I couldn’t get across

I jumped on your brother and I rode him for a horse

I’ll be glad when you’re dead, you dog
