Billie's Blues

Lord, I love my man, tell the world I do I love my man, tell the world I do But when he mistreats me Makes me feel so blue My man wouldn't give me no breakfast Wouldn't give me no dinner Squawked about my supper and put me outdoors Had the nerve to lay a matchbox on my clothes I didn't have so many But I have a long, long ways to go Some men like me 'cause I'm happy Some 'cause I'm snappy Some call me honey Others think I've got money Some tell me, baby, you're built for speed Now if you put that all together Makes me everthing a good man needs
