Tess's Torch Song |
| Here is a story 'bout a gal |
| Folks called her Torchy Tess |
| Because she trusted, her heart got busted |
| Love made her life a mess |
| It evidently was an awful blow |
| For this is, word for word, poor Tess’s tale of woe |
| I had a man |
| He was a good man |
| That is, you see, what I mean is |
| I thought he was a good man |
| I had a friend |
| She was a good friend |
| I told my friend 'bout my man 'cause |
| I thought she was a good friend |
| Life was sweet, didn’t I have my man? |
| World complete, then the fireworks began |
| Ain’t got no man, ain’t got no friend |
| Well, I bet you can guess just exactly what happened |
| That was the end, the end of my friend |
| The end of my man and almost the end of me |
| Life was sweet, didn’t I have, didn’t I have my man? |
| World complete, then the fireworks began |
| Ain’t got no man, ain’t got no friend |
| Well, I bet you can guess just exactly what happened |
| That was the end, the end of my friend |
| The end of my man, and darn near the end of me |
| Yeah |
