Don't Be No Fool (1940)

If you trust your woman, then why do you trail her night and day?

If you trust your woman, then why you trail her night and day?

You will drive her to do something wrong, when that kid ain't made up that way.

The more you watch a woman, the more you suffer alive.
You're forever beating and doggin', you dogs her both day and night.
But still there's always a man waiting, to treat a good woman right.

Don't scold your woman, when she ain't done nothin' wrong.
You beat and dogs her, when you know you've done wrong yo'self.
Someday she'll find it out, and that will drive her to somebody else.

If you trust your wife, then take her out more often than you do.
Don't you know she wants to spend some happy hours sometimes with you?
And if you don't there will be somebody will do the things that you fail to do.

Life is so sweet, when you both is happy night and day.
Life is so sweet, when you both is happy night and day.
But life can be a livin' hell when you listen to everything people ‘s got to say.
