Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

You shouldn't scold your wife when you do wrong yourself.
You shouldn't scold your wife when you do wrong yourself.
Because no woman wants to stay home all by herself.

We go out and we get drunk, and we stay the whole night long.
We men go out and get drunk, and stay the whole night long.
But to let us tell it, we never do'd  wrong.

But every man, he should understand.
But every man, every man should understand.
A woman wants a real good husband, and not a ramblin' man.

You must understand, a good woman ain't found every day.
You must understand, a good woman ain't found every day.
By stayin' out from home, you will soon drive your babe away.

You must stop your way of ramblin', and stay home some time.
We must stop our way of ramblin', and stay home some time.
‘Cause this all night and never home, and soon start her with a ramblin' mind.
