Maul danced baby she moved
Maul sang baby and she grooved
But it whatin’ till she got old enuf
Ta know bout what it was that she do
Dats when she knew it waz her dat sung it
But wazn’t her dat waz gon have da blues
Devil opened up sky landed right on the land
Pumped up in the back
Way back as he can
Called out in the night for sinners dat drink
Pouring dat corn whisky changing gospel sheets
Lord dem sounds crawl out from the dark
Had stomping feet
Crawl out from the dark blazin pain underneath
Men noise sound much like country
But Maul poured her soul in to it
Stark black tall and funky
And her noise came out bittersweet
Though she sang it she ain’t had the blues
Nawl she proclaimed it
wild women don’t have the blues
they all started out young traveling
in tent open field shows
got thrown out of dancing lines
cause dey color you know
crowd wanting light to bubbling brown
first blues too dark to be parading around
to hear her wails was a different thing
to see her wails was a mesmerizing thing
whantin’ like anything most done saw before
dis here black women tall black women
put on a show
deck out in full gear she dress to a tee
standing there dark and beautiful was sumin to see
than she opened her mouth pouring out stories bout me
gave most of us dark ones hopes
of being and doing the best we can be
wailing loud bout her blues dat was purple too
cause she say all women cept wild women had da blues
you knowed it when you heard it first to lay it in tracks
you knowed it when you saw it waz no looking back
told waz to old to play it only wild women did dat
but it waz in her all along and she showed us dat
hands in the air feeling a rapturous mood
hands on her hips hipping us to da blues
feathers in her hair silky shinny black
first darks to have rhinestones flowing up her back
called out to dem square women and their complain wayz
but thanked them cause it showed the rest how to not behave
*if he put on airs when you all out in da streets
remember it is you dat cook his dinner meat
if he got women all along da side
den make sho when he come home dat you stay good and tired
naw even though she sang it felt it
all up in here
she whatin playin it cause wild women yawl
wild women don’t have da blues
*words from my blues songs under construction ;) i'm old school

You can try to sing it. . . .
To understand it
You have to live it.
You CAPTURED it!!
