Billie's Blues - Take 1

Billie Holiday

Lyrics 

Lord, I love my man, tell the world I do
 I love my man, tell the world I do
 But when he mistreats me
 Makes me feel so blue
 My man wouldn't give me no breakfast
 Wouldn't give me no dinner
 Fought about my supper and put me outdoors
 Had the dark clay make black spots on my clothes
 I didn't have so many
 But i had a long, long way to go
 ♪
 Some men like me talkin' happy
 Some calls it snappy
 Some call me honey
 Others think I got money
 Some tell me, baby, you're built for speed
 Now if you put that all together
 Makes me everthing a good man needs
