Billie's Blues

Hey, hey, I love my man, tell the world I do

Yeah, I love my man, tell the world I do

But the way he mistreats me, makes me feel so blue

Yeah, yeah, I love that man, I'm a liar if I say I don't

Yes, I love that man, I'm a liar if I say I don't

But I'll quit that man, I'm a liar if I say I won't

I've been your slave, ever since I've been your, babe

I'm talkin' 'bout being your slave, ever since I've been your, babe

But before I'll be your dog, I'll see you laying in your grave

If you don't like my peaches

Why do you shake my tree?

I said, if you don't dig the peaches, baby

Stand back from the tree

You'd better get out of my orchard

And let my peach tree be, yeah

Hey-hey-hey, I ain't good-lookin'

And my hair ain't hangin' down in curls

I ain't good-lookin' and my hair ain't curls

But you can believe my mama she give me something

It's gonna carry me through this world

Some men like me 'cause I'm happy

Some 'cause I'm snappy

Some call me honey

Those of 'em think I got money

Some say, "McRae, you are truly built for speed"

So if you wrap it all together

Makes me everything a good man needs

Good man needs
