Lyrics And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine - Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers

And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine

He was such a handsome sailor, across the ocean blue
He told her that he loved her, and a thousand others too
And then he bought her diamonds, and some expensive furs
But alas and alack!
Like a stab in the back, she found he wasn’t hers
And her tears flowed like wine, yes, her tears flowed like wine
She’s a real sad tomato, she’s a busted valentine
And her mama done told her, that her man was darn unkind
And then the man got jilted, and her hopes were rose once more
She went to beauty parlors, and took facials by the score
And when he came to see her, she smiled the evening through
But he said, «My girl, get your money back, Gravel Gertie is the name for you»
And her tears flowed like wine, yes, her tears flowed like wine
She’s a real sad tomato, she’s a busted valentine
And her mama done told her, that her man is darn unkind
She caught him in a restaurant, about to order when
She said, «Come home to dinner, don’t you want some beans again?»
«That ain’t flickin' with the Navy, the sailor said,» said he
So then she laid her pistol down, had to let her man go free
And her tears flowed like wine, yes, her tears flowed like wine
She’s a real sad tomato, she’s a busted valentine
And her mama done told her, that her man is darn unkind
