Composed by Homer Banks of Stax Records fame, this one can be heard on recordings by Albert King, The Mannish Boys, and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, to name a few.
“How many men can you find,
Will give a woman his last dime?
Work like a mule ev’ry day,
And be home and be treated any kind of way.
But your day will come,
Sure as you live.
If the washin’ don’t getcha’,
the rinsin’ surely will.”
– “If the Washing Don’t Get You, the Rinsing Will”
