Lyrics:

Billie Holiday



My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean

My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean

He's the meanest man that I've ever see



My baby wears high peg pants stripes are really yellow

Baby wears high peg pants stripes area really yellow

When he starts into love me he's so fine and mellow



Love will make you drink and gamble make you stay out all night long

Love will make you drink and gamble make you stay out all night long

Love will make you do things that you know is wrong



Do right baby if you stay home every day

I'll do right baby if you stay home every day

You're so mean and evil I know you're gonna drive me away



Why did he leave me why did he have to go

Why did he leave me why did he have to go

Went off and left me baby I loved him so



I'll be a good wife to you if it means anything to you

I'll stay home every night and I'll love you

And kiss you every night and one of these days

If you're good to me honey one of these day

If God is good to me I'll bring you a little burny



Come back to me baby try me one more time

Cos without your loving I swear I'm gonna lose my mind
