Shave 'Em Dry Blues

There's one thing I don't understand
 Why a good-Iookin' woman loves a workin' man
 Eeh, hey, daddy won't you shave 'em dry?
 Goin' 'way to wear you off my mind
 You keeps me broke and hungry, daddy all the time
 Eeeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
 Don't see how you hungry women can sleep
 Shimmies all day without a bite to eat
 Eeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
 Goin' downtown to spread the news
 State Street women wearing brogan shoes
 Hey, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
 If it wasn't for their powder and sto' bought hair
 State Street gals couldn't go nowhere
 Eeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
 There's one thing I don't understand
 Some women walkin' State Street like a man
 Eeh, hey, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
 Went to the show the other night
 Everybody on State Street tryin' to fight
 Eeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
 Ain't crazy 'bout my yeller, I ain't wild about my brown
 Makes no difference when the sun goes down
 Eeh, hey, daddy won't you shave 'em dry
 When you see two women runnin' hand in han'
 You can bet your life they got the other one's man
 Eeh, hey, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
 Don't let that man come in my home
 If his wife is here I don't mean no harm
 Eeh, hey, daddy let me shave 'em dry
