Turtle Blues / Jule

Turtle Blues - Janice Joplin

I’m a mean, mean woman,
I don’t mean no one man no good, no.
I’m a mean, mean woman,
I don’t mean no one man no good.
I just treat ’em like I want to,
I never treat ’em, honey like I should.

Oh, lord, I once had a daddy,
He said he’d give me everything in sight.
Once had a daddy,
Said he’d give me everything in sight.
Yes, he did.
So I said, honey, I want the sunshine,
You take the stars out of the night.
Come on and give ’em to me, babe, ’cause I want ’em right now.

I ain’t the kind of woman
Who’d make your life a bed of ease,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I’m not the kind of woman, no,
To make your life a bed of ease.
Yeah, but if you, if you just wanna go out drinkin’, honey,
Won’t you invite me along, please.
Oh, I’ll be so good to ya babe, yeah!
Whoa, go on!

I guess I’m just like a turtle
That’s hidin’ underneath it’s horny shell.
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
Hidin’ underneath it’s hard-ass shell.
But you know I’m very well protected
I know this goddamn life too well.

Oh! now call me mean, you can call me evil, yeah, yeah,
I’ve been called much worser things around,
Honey, don’t ya know I have!
Whoa, call me mean or call me evil
I’ve been called much worser things, all things around,
Yeah, but I’m gonna take good care of janis, yeah,
Honey, ain’t no one gonna dog me down.
Alright, yeah.
