Billie's Blues

Billie's Blues - Janiva Magness Band

I love my man tell the world I do

I love my man I tell the world I do

But when he mistreats me

Make me feels so blue

My man wouldn't give me no breakfast

Given no dinner

Fought about my supper and put me outdoors

Had the dark clay make spots on my clothes

I didn't have too many

But I had a long long way to go

I love my man

You know I'm a liar if I say I don't

I love that man

I'm a liar if I say I don't

But I got quit that man

I'm a liar if I say I won't

Some men like me talking happy

Some calls it snappy some call me honey

Others think I've got money

Some tell me baby you're built for speed

I see you put that all together

Makes me everything a good man needs
