Baby I Done Got Wise

A gypsy told me to let them women be

She said, "A man's your best friend"

I said, "Are you tellin' me?"



'Cause I done got wise now

Oh, to the way these women do

Yeah, you've been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick's done turned on you



I don't know whether my woman was jokin'

Or what she intends to do

But I done pulled the right card

And I done got tattooed



Now, I done got wise

Oh, to the way these women do

Yeah, you've been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick done turned on you



If there's forty-eight cards in the deck

Just give me ten

If you can play with the women

I can play with the men



'Cause I done got wise, baby

Oh, to the way you women do

Yeah, you've been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick's done turned on you



I been married three times

I was drunk as I could be

I had one wife and other

Two women had me



Now, I done got wise

Oh, to the way these women do

Yeah, you've been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick done turned on you



When I used to come from work

You had four or five cousins around

Now I done got me some cousins

Since I come to town



And I done got wise

Oh, to the way you women do

Yeah, you've been tryin' to trick me, baby

Now the trick's done turned on you
