Wimmin 1921

Got a friend of mine who now
is down in Mattevan,
Poor old John he's just a little gone,
when I asked him how they came
to put him in a cell,
he stamped his feet, and tore his hair,
and then began to yell...

Oh Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I crave,
for Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I rave,
Young or old, shy or bold,
makes no diff'rence if they're hot or cold.
Oh pick 'em, pick 'em,
pick 'em for me,
oh sig 'em sig 'em sig 'em on me,
You take the wine,
give me for my share,
a rag and a bone
and a hank of hair,
for Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I fall,
I got to have 'em that's all.

Oh Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I crave,
for Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I rave,
small or tall, bring 'em all,
listen listen to a wild man's call.
Oh grab 'em, grab 'em, grab 'em for me,
oh fetch 'em, fetch 'em, fetch 'em for me,
When they're not round me I'm always sane,
Show me a skirt and I'm off again,
for Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I fall,
I got to have 'em that's all.

After that he'd quiet down
and even read the news,
Seems he wouldn't have another spell,
But, when he saw a picture
of a Ziegfeld chorus belle,
he stamped his feet, and tore his hair,
and then began to yell...

Oh Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I crave,
for Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I rave,
Young or old, shy or bold,
makes no diff'rence if they're hot or cold.
Oh pick 'em, pick 'em,
pick 'em for me,
oh sig 'em sig 'em sig 'em on me,
You take the wine,
give me for my share,
a rag and a bone
and a hank of hair,
for Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I fall,
I got to have 'em that's all.

Oh Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I crave,
for Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I rave,
small or tall, bring 'em all,
listen listen to a wild man's call.
Oh grab 'em, grab 'em, grab 'em for me,
oh fetch 'em, fetch 'em, fetch 'em for me,
When they're not round me I'm always sane,
Show me a skirt and I'm off again,
for Wimmin, Wimmin, Wimmin I fall,
I got to have 'em that's all.
