Lucille Bogan Whiskey Selling Woman lyrics
>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=0w6s_Jsgdyw
This is one of the few songs by Lucille Bogan (1897-1948) that I can post. This is Whiskey Selling Woman from Disc. 3 - Prison Blues from the 4 cd set A Shortcut To The Grave . I think her pianist on this is Walter Roland. Lucille Bogan (aka Bessie Jackson) focused almost exclusively on explicit sexual themes (prostitution, adultery and lesbianism) social ills (alcoholism, drug addiction and abusive relationships). Her lyrics are still so explicit there are few that even today have gotten close to her graphic level. In several blogs, it says she was a known prostitute. She had some good early music, but appears to have been a tough woman. Enjoy... • Lyrics thanks to http://www.lyricsmania.com/whisky_sel... • I feel superstitions, somethin's goin' on wrong. I feel superstitions, somethin's goin' on wrong. I've got my house full of beer, and my backyard full of corn. • I've got four cases, tomorrow at that county jail. I've got four cases, tomorrow at that county jail. And two is for my whisky, and two is for my forfeit bail. • The judge he said, put a padlock on my door. The judge he said, put a padlock on my door. And I can't sell whisky, and I can't give parties no more. • I will sell my whisky, to the chief of police in town. I will sell my whisky, to the chief of police in town. And if he don't like my whisky, he's welcome to ride me down. • If I had a thousand dollars, judge I'd take my way. If I had a thousand dollars, judge I'd take my way, hey hey. And I would make this whole town, sloppy drunk one day. • I would build me a still, on every street in this town. I would build me a still, on every street in this town. And I wouldn't allow police, eighteen miles around.
