Living Was Wild
Wendy McNeill

Ankle length petticoats and whale bone corsettesnBoth clothing and symbol of the supposed weaker sexnDenied an education and a decent wagenI saw how it withered my mother and i refused to grow old that waynnMy family called me lazy and a foolish childnI never let their phrases phase menOut where the living was wildnI set out to make some gravynnAs a single lady out staking a claimnI got laughed at , pushed over, and shoved down the lanenSo I weighed my options--got me a crib on the linenAnd let those fellows call me 'baby' as long as they could pay me finennI felt like I was crazynThe Klondike too wildnMy calculating eye turned hazynOut where the living was wildnI hoped my stamina could save mennDame fortune soon shone down on menIn the shape of diamond tooth lil and Georgia leenThose 4th street parties and all the energy they tooknWe replenished ourselves telling storiesnThe ones that'd never make the booksnnDiamond tooth lil, she saved Georgia' s hidenWhen like so many other demimondes , she was crushed by some guynGave her one sharp piece of advice as she weptn'Don't make him glad you were something he got rid of,nMake him wish you were something he'd kept'nA single piece of wisdom it was a pearlnFrom a slightly jaded golden dreamernOut where the living was wildnBoth cursed and loved the rush that freed hernnGeorgia lee, she went to invest money wellnWith the wisdom that she'd gained from blanche cascaden and mrs. BellenSoon she had some places and she taught me hownTo double my money and branch out beyond the title of a good time girlnnMy family called me lazy and a foolish childnI never let their phrases phase menOut where the living was wildnI made me a tone of gravynnNow I don't mean to suggest it was an easy float to the topnI worked hard for almost every nugget I gotnAnd when I speak of loss I mean I lost a lotnWhen I speak of lossnI lost a lot
