Lucille Bogan (April 1, 1897 – August 10, 1948) was an American blues singer, among the first to be recorded. She also recorded under the pseudonym Bessie Jackson. Bogan sang straight-talking blues about drinking ("Sloppy Drunk Blues"), prostitution ("Tricks Ain't Walking No More"), gambling, lesbianism and other facets of what her generation called 'the life'. The jazz critic and sexologist Ernest Borneman  grouped her with Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith  in the "the big three of the blues".
Biography

She was born Lucille Anderson in Amory, Mississippi in 1897, and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. In 1916 she married Nazareth Lee Bogan, a railwayman, and gave birth to a son.

She first recorded vaudeville songs for Okeh Records in New York in 1923, with pianist Henry Callens. Later that year she recorded "Pawn Shop Blues" in Atlanta, Georgia, which was the first time a black blues singer had been recorded outside New York or Chicago. In 1927 she began recording for Paramount Records in Chicago, where she waxed her first big success, "Sweet Petunia", which was later covered by Blind Blake. She also recorded for Brunswick Records, backed by Tampa Red and Cow Cow Davenport.

Wow, this makes Leadbelly's stuff seem tame!  Interesting find.  You have to wonder if other stuff from back then was as vulgar, and was just really hard to find (due to being 'unreleasable').

if you're interested in lucille bogan, try to get in touch with she rat....she croons those tunes on a regular basis and spent some time researching the genre.

does make stones lyrics seem tame! and for a black woman to be singing it in the 30s...well...that's something else.

Here's some info on the song. 

Also, Tom Waits used that same lyric in the mid to late 70's.

Is it me, or is this song the forerunner to Tumblin' Dice?

On the STP boot of their 72 tour rehearsals, the Stones a brief live version of this song....
