From Uncensored History of the Blues
Great thread SoNotHer!
**************************** There's a treasury of blues songs by and about lesbians. Lucille Bogan recording under the name Bessie Jackson, accompanied by pianist Walter Roland from 1935 recorded one of the best. She's talking about bull dykes or bull daggers with B.D. Woman’s Blues: Lyrics: Comin' a time, B.D. women they ain't going to need no men Comin' a time, B.D. women they ain't going to need no men Cause they way treat us is a lowdown dirty sin B.D. women, you sure can't understand B.D. women, you sure can't understand They got a head like a sweet angel and they walk just like a natural man B.D. women, they all done learned their plan B.D. women, they all done learned their plan They can lay their jive just like a natural man B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough They all drink up plenty whiskey and they sure will strut their stuff B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough And when they get ready to spend it, they know they have to go Ma Rainey's love of women was no secret. She was arrested in 1925 after a police raid at a party where several women including Ma were found together naked and having sex. In Prove It on Me while backed up by a sort of a jazz jug band that featured Thomas Dorsey she sings about the elusiveness of her sexuality and her feelings toward men and women. Lyrics: Went out last night had a great big fight, everything seemed to go all wrong I looked up, to my surprise, the gal I was with was gone Where she went I don't know, I mean to follow everywhere she goes Folks said I'm crooked, I didn't know where she took it, I want the whole world to know They say I do it, ain't nobody caught me Sure got to prove it on me Went out last night with a crowd of my friends They must have been women 'cause I don't like no men It's true I wear a collar and a tie Make the wind blow all the while But they say I do it, ain't nobody caught me They sure got to prove it on me They say I do it, ain't nobody caught me Sure got to prove it on me I went out last night with a crowd of my friends It must have been women 'cause I don't like no men. Wear my clothes just like a fan Talk to the gals just like any old man 'Cause they say I do it, ain't nobody caught me Sure got to prove it on me

I love it. Thank you, Anya!
Folks, if you've never heard of Ma Rainey or you've never seen Ma Rainey's Black Bottom by August Wilson treat yourself. She was a fascinating woman, and Wilson really captures a part of her life and times. Quote:
