Classic Poem

I ain't never loved
but three womens in my life
I ain't never loved
but three womens in my life
My mother and my sister
and my partner's wife

My mother told me
when I was about twelve years old
My mama told me
when I was about twelve years old
Man, you nothing but a back biter
may God bless your soul

(They call me back biter

I AM a back biter

I bite any man in the back)

I'm gonna tell all you women something
maybe you might not like
And I'm gonna tell all you women something
baby, you might not like
I wanna know
if I can bite your man in the back

You might risk me, brother,
but I will never risk you
Now you might risk me, brother,
but I will never risk you
If you allow me a chance
I will gnaw your backbone half in two
