Turtle Blues

  Ah,
I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't mean no one man, no good
no.
I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't mean no one man, no good
I just treats 'em like I wants to
I never treats 'em, honey like I should
Oh, Lord, I once had a daddy
He said he'd give me everything in sight
Once had a daddy
Said he'd give me everything in sight
Yes, he did
So I said, "Honey, I want the sunshine,
He'll take the stars out of the night
Come on and give 'it to me
'Cause I want it right now."
I ain't the kind of woman
Who'd make your life the bed of ease
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not the kind of woman, no,
To make your life the bed of ease.
Yeah, but if you, if you just wanna go out drinkin', honey,
Won't you invite me along please
Oh, I'll be so good to ya babe, yeah!
Whoa, go on
(instrumental break)
I guess I'm just like a turtle
That's hidin' underneath its horny shell
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
Hidin' underneath its horny shell
But you know I'm very well protected
I know this god damn life too well
Ooooh! Now call me mean, people call me evil, yeah, yeah
I've been called much worse of things around,
Honey, don't ya know I have!
Whoa, call me mean or call me evil
I've been called much worse things of things around,
Yeah, but I'm gonna take good care of Janis, yeah,
Honey, ain't no one gonna dog me down.
Alright,
yeah.
