By way of intro–sexual innuendo is quite popular in deep South blues songs. So here goes a white man trying to get down where it counts.

Hot ‘N Cold Runnin’ Woman

Hot ‘n cold runnin’ woman
Puts me low 'n puts me high.
Hot ‘n cold runnin’ woman
Gets me low ‘n gets me high.
By the time she’s a comin’
She’s already said goodbye.

Hot ‘n cold runnin’ woman
Puts me off 'n puts me on.
Hot ‘n cold runnin’ woman
Gets me off ‘n gets me on.
By the time she’s a comin’
She’s already up 'n gone.

Hot ‘n cold runnin’ woman
Puts me up 'n puts me down.
Hot ‘n cold runnin’ woman
Gets me up ‘n gets me down
By the time she’s a comin’
She’s already not around.

Hot ‘n cold runnin’ woman
Puts me out 'n puts me in.
Hot ‘n cold runnin’ woman
Gets me out ‘n gets me in
By the time she’s a comin’
She’s already gone agin.

Probable too slick for the genre.

Not bad, the melody reads a bit generic, but I like the lyrics!

Thanks, PM. I used the “old school”, original blues format as is found in what is considered the first ever blues song, “Saint Louis (Loowee)Woman”.There and in some of Langston Hughes’ poems the repetition of the first line is a given.
I have close to a thousand poems available; but, I feel I’m monopolizing the forum. Many others here have much to say in musical verse or poetic thought.
