They say I do do it, ain't nobody caught me,
Sure got to prove it on me.
Went out last night with a crowd of my friends,
They must've been women, 'cause I don't like no men.

Now I'm gon' show you all my black bottom
They stay to see that dance
Wait until you see me do my big black bottom
It'll put you in a trance.

Ma Rainey

Lord, I wonder what is worryin' me
If it ain't my regular, must be my used to be.
