Interesting to do this track and see peoples reactions on the night of the recording. Some people were laughing (nervously) and others were raising eyebrows. This song and the tone that it was performed back in the 50s is part of the non politically correct history of the blues.
lyrics
When I get home in the evening
I wanna have my dinner hot
I wanna smell that ol’ pot roast
While it’s stewing in the pot
Have my bubble bath waiting
Change of clothes laid out
When I ask you to light my cigarette,
Give me a smile and don’t you pout
Hard head, you heard what I said
If you don’t straighten up woman
There’s gonna be some changes made
If you wanna spend my money
And I wanna watch TV
You better smile and call me honey
And stay right on home with me
If I feel like kissin baby
You better feel like Kissin too
Coz if you freeze up on me mama
I’ll have to freeze on you
Hard head, you heard what I said
If you don’t straighten up woman
There’s gonna be some changes made
The preacher made us partners
And partners we will be
If you don’t wanna be partners
That’s alright with me
If you run out on me woman
I’ll stand right here and grin
Coz if you run out on me baby
I know a chick who’ll run right in
Hard head, you heard what I said
If you don’t straighten up woman
There’s gonna be some changes made
Cerebral palsy curbed his ability to play guitar the conventional way, so Nagoda learned double slide, this is his debut LP.
