I Love My Man (Billie's Blues) |
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 |
