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 youI 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 tattooedNow, 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 youIf 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 youI been married three times
I was drunk as I could be
I had one wife and other
Two women had meNow, 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 youWhen I used to come from work
You had four or five cousins around
Now I done got me some cousins
Since I come to townAnd 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
