Don't Take A Country Woman

Don't Take A Country Woman Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in A# / B♭ Blues.

Well, don't take a country woman and boy and carry
her to town
She'll turn on you like an ole
old mama lion
Don't take a country woman
Boy, and carry her to town
Well, she'll turn on you
Like an ole mama lion

Well, don't let a gorilla get by
to the pond, he'll
give more trouble than the
whoa, days are long
Don't let no gorilla, boy
Don't let the fool get back to the pond
Well he'll give more trouble
than the days are long

Well, don't take no wood nickel for
for goodness sakes, don't
Rest of your life you be fending
Frogs from snakes, well
Don't take no wood nickel
Boy, for goodness sakes
Do them, rest of your life you'll be
fending poor frogs from snakes

Well, don't let no whip know you still
gonna bite you
Get you up a tree, boy, and keep your eye on
on a limb all night
Don't let no whip know that you
afraid it'll bite
Do, she'll get you out on a limb, boy, and
Keep you up there all night

Note: The fourth verse was a struggle for me, so if anyone has a different transcription I'd be happy to see it.
