Η Ομοφυλοφιλία στα Μπλουζ 1 / Bull Dykers & Lesbian Blues.


Β.D.* Woman's Blues (1935)
Lucille Bogan


Comin' a time, B.D. women ain't gonna need no men
Comin' a time, B.D. women ain't gonna do need no men
Oh they way treat us is a lowdown and dirty sin

B.D. women, you sure can't understand
B.D. women, you sure can't understand
They got a head like a sweet angel and they walk just like a natural man

B.D. women, they all done learnt their plan
B.D. women, they all done learnt their plan
They can lay their jive just like a natural man

B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough
B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough
They all drink up plenty whiskey and they sure will strut their stuff

B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough
B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough
And when they get ready to spend it, they know they have to go (?)

  1. "Prove It On Me" - Ma Rainey
    ---------------

    Went out last night had a great big fight, everything seemed to go all wrong
    I looked up, to my surprise, the gal I was with was gone
    Where she went I don't know, I mean to follow everywhere she goes

    Folks said I'm crooked, I didn't know where she took it, I want the whole world to know
    They say I do it, ain't nobody caught me
    Sure got to prove it on me
    Went out last night with a crowd of my friends
    They must have been women 'cause I don't like no men

    It's true I wear a collar and a tie
    Make the wind blow all the while
    But they say I do it, ain't nobody caught me
    They sure got to prove it on me

    They say I do it, ain't nobody caught me
    Sure got to prove it on me

    I went out last night with a crowd of my friends
    It must have been women 'cause I don't like no men.
    Wear my clothes just like a fan
    Talk to the gals just like any old man
    'Cause they say I do it, ain't nobody caught me
    Sure got to prove it on me

    What can I do? What can I do for

    Two old maids in a folding bed
    One turned over to the other and said
    Yes, yes, we have no bananas
    We have no bananas for

    One turned over to the other and said
    Keep your sunny side up, just keep your sunny side up
