Do Your Duty Lyrics - Bessie Smith - Bessie Smith

If I cal three times a day baby 

Come and drive my blue away 

When you come,be ready to play 

Do your duty 

If you want to have some love 

Give your baby your last buck 

Don't come quackin' like a duck 

Do your duty 

I heard you said you didn't love me,baby 

Down at 

I don't believe a word she said 

She's the lyinest woman in town 

Oh babe,when I need attention at home 

I'll just call you on the telephone 

Come yourself,don't send your friend Jones 

Do your duty 

If my radiator gets too hot 

Cool it off in lots of spots 

Give me all the service you've got 

Do your duty 

If you don't know what it's all about 

Don't sit around my house and pout 

If you do you'll catch your mama tippin' now 

Do your duty 

If you make your own bed hard 

That's the way it lies 

I'm tired of sleepin' by myself 

But you're too dumb to realize 

I'm not tryin' to make you feel blue 

I'm not satisfied with the way you do 

I've got to help you find somebody too 

Do your duty 

Do your duty
