Turtle Blues lyrics

I'm a mean, mean woman

I don't mean no one man no good

I'm a mean, mean woman

I don't mean no one man no good

I just treats 'em like I wants to

Never ever 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

I said Hon, I want the sunshine

And take the stars out of the night

I ain't the kind of woman

Who'd make your life a bed of ease

I'm not the kind of woman

To make your life a bed of ease

Yeah, but if you just wanna go out drinkin', honey

Invite me along please

I guess I'm just like a turtle

Hidin' underneath his horny shell

Just like a turtle

Hidin' underneath his horny shell

But you know I'm very well protected

I know this doggone life too well

Oh, they call me mean, people call me evil

I'm not the kind of woman you can mess around

They call me mean, people call me evil

I'm not the kind of woman you can mess around

But I'm gonna take good care of Bonnie, yeah

There ain't no one gonna talk me down...
