Baby I Done Got Wise - Big Bill Broonzy, Fred Williams, Joshua Altheimer

A gypsy told me to let them women be

She said, «A man’s your best friend»

I said, «Are you tellin' me?»

'Cause I done got wise now

Oh, to the way these women do

Yeah, you’ve been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick’s done turned on you

I don’t know whether my woman was jokin'

Or what she intends to do

But I done pulled the right card

And I done got tattooed

Now, I done got wise

Oh, to the way these women do

Yeah, you’ve been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick done turned on you

If there’s forty-eight cards in the deck

Just give me ten

If you can play with the women

I can play with the men

'Cause I done got wise, baby

Oh, to the way you women do

Yeah, you’ve been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick’s done turned on you

I been married three times

I was drunk as I could be

I had one wife and other

Two women had me

Now, I done got wise

Oh, to the way these women do

Yeah, you’ve been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick done turned on you

When I used to come from work

You had four or five cousins around

Now I done got me some cousins

Since I come to town

And I done got wise

Oh, to the way you women do

Yeah, you’ve been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick’s done turned on you
