Until they put that sand and dirt in my face I will not sit in church all day.
"Alberta Hunter" was an United States/American blues singing/singer, songwriter, and nurse. Her career had started back in the early 1920s, and from there on, she became a successful jazz and blues recording artist, being critically acclaimed to the ranks of Ethel Waters and Bessie Smith. In the 1950s, she retired from performing and entered the medical field, only to successfully resume her singing career in her 80s.

More Alberta Hunter on Wikipedia.I'm having a good time,/ Please don't blame me,/ I'm knocking myself out/ Don't try to tame me/ Let me have my fun,/ I've got to have my fling,/ Some folks say I'm blowing my top/ Talk don't mean a thing, . . .
I would sing softly, and if the people at the next table would want to hear what I was doing, they'd have to call me over and give me a tip.
None of them going to treat me bad, honey, I'm too strict for that.
I've got the world in a jug/ The stopper's in my hand.
The musicians that didn't know music could play the best blues. I know that I don't want no musicians who know all about music playin' for me.
Maybe if I knew music I couldn't do what I am doing.
I'm not living the blues; I'm just singing for the women who think they can't speak out. Can't a man alive mistreat me, 'cause I know who I am.
Put your faith in God and confidence in yourself.
