BILLIE HOLIDAY - FINE AND MELLOW


Gravado em 1957 ao vivo, este pequeno filme com Billie e o seu grupo, incluindo Lester Young, Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, Gerry Mulligan e Coleman Hawkins, é simplesmente um clássico.

Lyrics

My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen
He wears high draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to 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
But if you treat me right, baby
I'll stay home everyday
Just treat me right, baby
I'll stay home night and day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on, baby
It has turned off and gone
