Billie's Blues (I.E. I Love My Man)

歌詞

I love my man On my life I say I don't I love my man On my life I say I don't But I'll quit my man On my life I say I won't I've been your slave baby Ever since I've been your way I've been your slave Ever since I've been your faith 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 cause I'm happy Some cause 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
