Contrary Mary
Lightnin' Hopkins

Contrary, she contrary, she won't do nothing she say

She contrary, she contrary, she won't do nothing in the world she say

She done been married twice and her first husband, man he just let her have her way

But you know I won't do that!

You better change your way woman, little girl, Johnny tells you again

- good advice! -

You better change your way, little girl, Johnny tells you again

Then you'll have better times, little girl and you'll have much o'friend

One more, one more time'll do

One more, one more time'll do

Yes I'm gonna get me somebody else darling, then I'll be through with you
