This is a nice juke joint recording.  I wish there were more than a dozen or so of Rosetta's recording that still survive.   She had a Great Voice for Blues.  Good Stuff !!! Thanks for posting it.

I'M TIRED OF FATTENIN' FROGS FOR SNAKES
Written by Perry Bradford
As recorded by Rosetta Crawford with James P. Johnson's Hep Cats, 1939.

Gals around here are just like leeches,
Play in your orchard and steal your peaches.
I wish all these kids would let my man be,
'Cause all his love belongs to me,
So now I'm tired of fattenin' frogs for snakes.

When the moon was in eclipse, I hid one in the dark,
But he was gobbled up by some daddy-grabbin' shark.
I dressed him all up so he would look good.
He cheated(?) with all the chicks in my neighborhood.
So now I'm tired of fattenin' frogs for snakes.

Now old Lucy James, so brazen and bold,
Laughed in my face and stole my jelly roll,
Followed my man wherever he goes,
Jived until she took him right from under my nose,
So now I'm tired of fattenin' frogs for snakes.
