Nehi Blues Lyrics

Some girls wear short dresses, and these married women wears 'em too Some girls wear short dresses, and these married women wears 'em too That's the reason single men, Lord, don't know what we want to do When the proper judges make these women let these dresses down When the proper judges make these women let these dresses down Told that tremblin' soul, doggone, what you learnin' in town Women tarry too long, pullin' this short dress style Women tarry too long, pullin' the short dress style So we single men can't tell a married woman from a child Hmmm, Hmm, Hmmm, hmmm Let me tell you boys what these nehi1 dresses will do Let me tell you boys what these nehi dresses will do Get you broke, ragged, and hungry boy, then come down on you All of you women, you all oughta be ashamed All of you young women, the whole lot oughta be ashamed makin' these old men naughty, when they're walkin' on walking canes Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm An old man ain't nothin' but a young woman's slave These old mens ain't nothin' but a young woman's slave He works hard all the time tryin' to stay in a young man's ways Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
