Wild Women Blues

© by Jay Harden

Wild women, wild women don’t get the blues.

They shake out their hair

And take off their shoes.

They laugh and they love

With nothing to lose.

Wonderful, wild women don’t get the blues.

Wild women don’t get the blues.

Wild women don’t get the blues.

Wild women don’t get,

Can’t get the blues.

Wild women, wild women never are slow.

They beat you to bed

And don’t treat you low.

They sparkle in rain,

They let children grow.

Wonderful wild women, blues they don’t know.

Wild women don’t get the blues.

Wild women don’t get the blues.

Wild women don’t get,

Just don’t get the blues.

Heaven is full of wild women from here,

Singing and playing

With nothing to fear,

Sending us music

That’s sensual, clear,

Telling each man,

Hold your wild woman dear.
