Prove It on Me - Ma Rainey

Went out last night, had a great big fight

Everything seemed to go on wrong

I looked up, to my surprise

The gal I was with was gone

Where she went, I don’t know

I mean to follow everywhere she goes;

Folks say I’m crooked.

I didn’t know where she took it

I want the whole world to know

They say I 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

It’s true I wear a collar and a tie

Makes the wind blow all the while

Don’t you say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me

You sure got to prove it on me

Say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me

Sure got to prove it on me

I went out last night with a crowd of my friends

It must’ve 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

Cause they say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me

Sure got to prove it on me
