Billie`s Blues — текст песни (Mcrae Carmen)

(Billie Holiday)
Hey, hey, I love my man,
Tell the world I do.
Yeah, I love my man,
Tell the world I do.
But the way he mistreats me
Makes me feet so blue.
Yeah, yeah, I love that man,
I`m a liar if I say I don`t.
Yes, I love that man,
I`m a liar if I say I don`t.
But I`ll quit that man,
I`m a liar if I say I won`t.
I`ve been your slave,
Ever since I`ve been your babe.
I`m talkin` `bout being your slave,
Ever since I`ve been your babe.
But before I`ll be your dog,
I`ll see you laying in your grave.
If you don`t like my peaches,
Why do you shake my tree?
I said, if you don`t dig the peaches, baby,
Stand back from the tree.
You`d better get out of my orchard,
And let my peach tree be.
Hey, I ain`t good-lookin`,
And my hair ain`t hangin` down in curls.
I ain`t good-lookin` and my hair ain`t curls.
But you can believe my mame she give me
something,
It`s gonna carry me through this world.
Some men like me `cause I`m happy,
Some`cause I`m snappy,
Some call me honey,
Those of `em think I got money.
Some say, McRae, you are truly built for speed
So if you wrap it all together,
Makes me everything a good man needs . . .
Good man needs.
