That song really intrigues me. I think it was originally Bessie Smith, but still it intrigues me that it's defiant about being what sounds like a bit of a door-stop. What I mean is the lines like "I'd rather my man hit me than quit me" and "If I'm beat up by my poppa I'm not calling the copper." It's like "Yeah I'm in abusive relationships, so? You want to make something of it bring it!"
