(Billie's Blues) I Love My Man |
| I love my man |
| I抦 a liar if I say I don’t |
| I love my man |
| I抦 a liar if I say I don’t |
| But I’ll quit my man |
| I抦 a liar if I say I won’t |
| I’ve been your slave baby |
| Ever since I’ve been your babe |
| I’ve been your slave |
| Ever since I’ve been your babe |
| But before I be your dog |
| I’ll see you in your grave |
| My man wouldn’t give me no breakfast |
| Wouldn’t give me no dinner |
| Squacked about my supper |
| Then he put me outdoors |
| Heaven erred to late |
| A matchbox on my clothes |
| I didn’t have so many |
| But I had a long long ways to go |
| I ain’t good looking |
| And my hair ain’t curls |
| I ain’t good looking |
| And my hair ain’t curls |
| But my mother she give me something |
| It’s going to carry me through this world |
| Some man like me 'cuz I’m happy |
| Some 'cuz I’m snappy |
| Some call me honey |
| Others think I’ve got money |
| Some say Billie |
| Baby you’re built for speed |
| Now if you put that altogether |
| Makes me everything a good man needs |
