This song plays with teasing the listener; the singer knows her worth, boasts about her sexuality, her worth, and how someone so big and complex can’t be pinned down.

lyrics

I’m not a bad woman, I’m just deep in my ways
I’m not a bad woman, I’m just deep in my ways
You won’t find out my footsteps if you search out all your loving days
My leg starts out a nickel, ends one dollar seventy-five
If you want some of my greens, you got to eat them live,
I’m not a bad woman, I’m just deep in my ways
You won’t find out my footsteps if you search out all your loving days

Now I’m a whole lotta woman, you know roughnecks is my style
Now I’m a whole lotta woman, you know roughnecks is my style
You open up my door now daddy, be prepared for to stay a little while
Now butter melts on my corn, molasses melts on my peas and what I’m cooking in my pot is gone bring you to your knees
Now I’m not a bad woman, I’m just deep in my ways
You won’t find out my footsteps if you search out all your loving days
Man, you won’t find out my footsteps if you search out all your loving days

Hold On
by Ali Dineen

Ali Dineen writes beautiful, thoughtful songs in the vein of Judee Sill or Connie Converse. She's pretty fearless in scope, and covers love, community, anti-racism, in her clear, knowing voice. Mamie Minch

First Recordings
by R.L. Burnside

These songs are Burnside's first recordings, done by folklorist George Mitchell in the late 60's. Best listened to up loud, while driving a cranky old car too fast on a winding road. Mamie Minch

Another Black Feather
by Dayna Kurtz

Have you heard Dayna Kurtz? You should- her voice and songwriting are a deep pleasure, even when she's kicking you around a bit. Just... listen to this record, ok? Mamie Minch
