( chuckles )

You were just

talking to her.

( music playing )

I went out last night

With a crowd

of my friends

Must have been women,

'cause I don't like no men

Wear my clothes

just like a fan

Talk to the gals

just like any old man

They say I do it

Ain't nobody caught me

Sure got to

prove it on me...

Oh, wait a minute now,

wait a minute now.

I see some

of your eyes rolling,

trying to find my Johnson.

That ain't ladylike.

Trust me, mama,

I got everything you need.

Ha!

( audience shouting,

laughing )

'Cause they say I do it

Ain't nobody caught me

Sure got to

prove it on me

Sure got

to prove it on me.

( cheering )

I almost got her

to go to bed with me.

- ( laughter )

- Bessie:
You ain't

almost nothing.

What?

Oh, ain't no "almost"

right here, baby.

- ( both moaning )

- All:
Ooh-hoo!

Ma get more tail

than me.

( all chuckling )

What you looking

'round for?

Who gonna see ya?

And so what if they do?

They got to prove it

on you, baby.

( laughter )

They got to prove it

on you, baby.

( knocking )

- ( laughter )

- Sh*t, like they

doing something bad.

What they doing, baby?

Go on with that.

Let the cards

do the talking.

Let the cards do

the motherfucking talking.

What the f***

was she talking about?

Take that bullshit on back

where you got it from.

I told you,

you ain't ready

for the big leagues.

( laughter, chatter )

Oh!

( laughing )

( music playing )

( crowd cheering )

Lord, you see me

weepin'

And you hear me cry

Lord, you see me

weepin'

And you hear me cry

I ain't weepin'

'bout no money

Just that man

of mine

Lord, this mean

old engineer

Cruel as he could be

This mean old engineer

Cruel as he could be

( crowd cheering )

Both:

Took my man away

And blowed the smoke

back at me

Back at me

I'm going down South

Won't be back till fall

Back till fall

I'm going down South...

Crowd:
Yeah!

Won't be back

till fall

If I don't find

my easy rider

Ain't comin' back

at all

- Woman:
Bessie!

- ( crowd cheering )

Yeah, if I don't find

my easy rider...

- Come on, Bessie!

- Ain't comin' back

at all

Back at all.

( cheering )

Yeah, Bessie!

Clarence:

Yeah!

( stammering )

You can't control that.

- Her goddamn ego--

- Whoo-hoo hoo!

I ain't never

seen 'em like that!

We sung that song.

Yeah, I earned

this tonight.

( laughing )

Oh, yeah.

Come on, Ma,

you ain't gonna

drink no co--

I know you ain't drinking

no corn with me.

Remember what I told you

about the blues?

About you knowing the people

and not the other way around?

Yeah.

I knowed everybody in there

and they knowed me.

You sure love yourself.

I see that gin
