In My Girlish Days
Memphis Minnie

Verse 1:
D
Late hours at night, trying to play my hand
            G
Through my window, out stepped a man
                 D
I didn't know no better
    A                  D    A
Oh Lord, in my girlish days

Verse 2:
        D
My mama cried, papa did, too
    G
Oh, daughter, what a shame on you
                 D
I didn't know no better
   A                    D   A
Oh Lord, in my girlish days


Verse 3:
             D
I flagged a train, didn't have a dime
           G
Trying to run away from that home of mine
                 D
I didn't know no better
   A                    D
Oh Lord, in my girlish days


Verse 4:
           D
I hit the highway, caught me a truck
              G
Nineteen and seventeen, when the winter was tough
                 D
I didn't know no better
   A            D           A
Oh Lord, in my girlish days


Verse 5:
          D
All of my playmates is not surprised,
         G
I had to travel b'fore I got wise
             D
I found out better
            A              D    A D
And I still got my girlish ways
