Reckless Blues Lyrics

Reckless Blues lyrics

( Bessie Smith )



When I wasn't nothing but a child 

When I wasn't nothing but a child

All you men tried to drive me wild



Now I'm, now I'm growing old 

Now, now I'm growing old 

And I've got what it takes to get all of you men told



My mama says I'm reckless, my daddy says I'm wild 

My mama says I'm reckless, my daddy says I'm wild 

I ain't good looking but I'm somebody's angel child



Daddy, mama wants some loving

Daddy, mama need some hugging 

Darn it pretty papa

Mama wants some lovin' I vow 

Darn pretty papa

Mama wants some lovin' right now
