The musicians that didn't know music could play the best blues. I know that I don't want no musicians who know all about music playin' for me.

Put your faith in God and confidence in yourself.

I’ve been more places by accident than most people have been on purpose.

People think the blues is sad. They hear people moaning and such. That's not the blues. That's just somebody singing slow...The blues is about truth-telling.

I'm having a good time, Please don't blame me, I'm knocking myself out Don't try to tame me Let me have my fun, I've got to have my fling, Some folks say I'm blowing my top Talk don't mean a thing.

I'm just singing for the women who think they can't speak out. Can't a man alive mistreat me, 'cause I know who I am.
