Baby, I Done Got Wise

A gypsy woman, she told me

To let them women be

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

I said, "Are you tellin' me?"

I done got wise to the way you women do

You've been tryin' to trick me, baby

But yeah, the tricks have turned on you

I don't know whether my woman was jokin'

Or what she tryin' to do

I done pulled the right card

And I'm paid just like you

I done got wise to the way you women do

You've been tryin' to trick me, baby

But yeah, the tricks have turned on you

When I used to come from work

You had four or five cousins around

I got me a cousin

Since I come to town

I done got wise to the way you women do

You've been tryin' to trick me, baby

But yeah, the tricks have turned on you

There's fifty-two cards in the deck

I want you to deal me ten

If you can gamble with the women

I'm gonna gamble with the men

I done got wise to the way you women do

You've been tryin' to trick me, darling

But yeah, the tricks have turned on you
