Sittin on a Hot Summer’s Porch by Jeanne Strigotte Bowden

Lyrics

Sittin on a Hot summers porch
On a Hot summers porch she sings
Blues Blues Blues
Love em and Live em Drink em and smoke em
Ands gotta Man Till she
Change her mind

Black hearted says my husband
To the Men who watch and tremble
Mother warned me the day we Wed
But nothing could change my mind
She One of a kind, Sweet and gentle
Till she change her mind

God loves her cause he made her
Devil can’t have her
Cause she Sweet and Gentle
Till she change her mind

Sittin on a Hot summers porch
She carries the Torch
Blues Blues Blues
She Love em and live em Drink em and Smoke em
Ands got Love for you till she
Change her mind
