It's Right Here For You

Mamie Smith


I heard Jim Jackson say to Mandy Green
You've been the cruelest gal I ever seen
You made me walk you 'round the park last night
Then wouldn't kiss me, do you think that's right?
Just then Miss Mandy turned around to him
She said: Now listen here Jim

It's right here for ya, if you don't get it, it ain't no fault of mine
You know there's honey in each rose for the Bee
It's up to him to get it, you will agree
I've got a lovin' disposition
So dear, I'm in the same position
Cause it's right here for you
If you don't get it, it ain't no fault of mine
Sweet Lawd, babe
Taint no fault of mine

When they got married and they settled down
He'd stay out late at night to roam around
She soon got tired of that, like women do
Made up her mind that she would stop it too
One night she waited with a great big club
When he came in, she said Bub

Now it's right here for ya, if you don't get it, it ain't no fault of mine
You know there honey in each rose for the Bee
It's up to him to get it, you will agree
I've got something that will surprise you
Something I know will hypnotize you Papa
Right here for you, if you don't get it
It ain't no fault of mine, Sweet Lawd, babe
Taint no fault of mine
