She Ain't No Good

—Mississippi Sheiks early 1930's

I had a girl, she was just that kind
I thought I would make her mine
But when I looked the matter through,
she was the worst of kind.

Chorus:
She ain't no good, Oh, she ain't no good
When I come to find her out,
I found she was no good.

Some men like the country girl,
Mine's girl lives in town
A towns girl will be lovin' you,
When the country girl messes around.

Chorus:
She ain't no good, Oh, she ain't no good
When you see 'em brother, lives in the woods,
You know she ain't no good.

A town girl gets one man,
And always treat him well
But a country girl will get her ten men,
And give them all hell.

Chorus:
She ain't no good, Oh she ain't no good
She once left a man in the neighborhood,
you know she ain't no good.

A yeller cow drinks the corn whiskey,
Browns can't do the same
The country girl get her two'a brown meal,
But she's getting drunk just the same.

Chorus:
She ain't no good, Oh, she ain't no good
She left a man in the neighborhood,
You know she ain't no good.

I went to the country girl's house,
And only one night I spent
I got up the next morning, and come back home,
Been runnin' ever since.

Chorus:
Oh, she ain't no good, Oh, she ain't no good
Deliver me, from a country girl,
because she ain't no good.
