’Fore Day Creep (1927 Paramount Version) lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you lose your money, don't lose your mind
When you lose your money, don't lose your mind
When you lose your good man, please don't mess with mine

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna buy me a bulldog to watch my man while he sleeps
I'm gonna buy me a bulldog to watch my man while he sleeps
Men are so doggone crooked, I'm afraid he might make a 'fore day creep

[Verse 3]
Tell you why a married woman is so crazy 'bout a right young man
Tell you why a married woman is so crazy 'bout a right young man
If her husband die, she can raise that boy to her hand
Lord, today

[Verse 4]
Tell you this, girls, ain't going to tell you nothin' else
Tell you this, girls, ain't going to tell you nothin' else
Any woman's a fool to think she's got a whole man by herself
