Prove It On Me Blues
- Gertrude “Ma” Rainey (1928)

Went out last night with a crowd of my friends They must’ve been women, ‘cause I don’t like no men It’s true I wear collar and a tie Make the wind blow all the while ‘Cause they say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me They sure got to prove it on me |
Wear my clothes just like a fan
Talk to the gals just like any old man
‘Cause they say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me
Sure got to prove it on me.
