Joe Tex - You Keep Her

James i got your letter
It came to me today
You said I can have my baby back
But I don't want her that way
So you keep her
You keep her becaus man, she belongs to you
she didn't make up her own mind
To come home on to me
So I found me someone else
and we're happy as can be
You keep her you keep her becaus man she belongs to you
but you can tell I say hello .................

Joe Tex, the first hip-hop artist. He did spoken-word sections in songs, which he referred to as "raps", & here performs an unvarnished confrontational communication with a competing artist.

James himself said that he didn't know Bea Ford had been married to Joe, and she didn't tell him....

@thankslord Joe was born August 8th 1933 and died August 13th 1982......

All Joe's kids looked exactly like Sam Cooke. Go figure...

@gilgamess Bea Ford wasn't the TV Mama in the James Brown Revue.....it was Elsie Mae.......

@soulmziklova If release dates mean anything, "Lost Someone" came out in 1961, this song dates from 1963.

From what I have JUST read, it seems that he is singing about Bea Ford ("TV Mama").
