And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine

And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine - The Song Spinners/Ella Fitzgerald/Johnny Long & His Orchestra

He was such a handsome sailor

How he toss the old lagoon

He told her that he loved her

And a thousand others too

And then he bought a diamond

And some expensive purse

But at last and a lack like a stab in the back

She found it wasn't hers

And her tears flowed like wine

Yes her tears flowed like wine

She's a real sad tomato

She's a busted Valentine

Knows her mama done told her

That her man is darned unkind

But then the guy got guilted

And her hopes are rose once more

So she went to beauty pilers

And took facials by the score

And when he came to see her

She smiled the evening through

Till he said "Girlfriend get your money back

Cravel girdy is a name for you "

And her tears flowed like wine

Yes her tears flowed like wine

She's a real sad tomato

She's a busted Valentine

Knows her mama done told her

That her man is darned unkind

She caught him in a restaurant

About to order when

She said come home to dinner

Don't you want some beans again

There ain't clicking with the navy

The sailor said sageeve

So then she laid her pistol down

Have to let the guy go free

And her tears flowed like wine

Yes her tears flowed like wine

She's a real sad tomato

She's a busted Valentine

Knows her mama done told her

That her man is darned unkind

She's a real sad tomato

And her tears flowed like wine
