Billie Holiday - Billie's Blues (Early Classics)
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
Fought about my supper and put me outdoors
Had the dark clay make black spots on my clothes
I didn't have so many
But I had a long, long way to go
Some men like me talkin' happy
Some calls it snappy
Some call me honey
Others think I 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

EENY MEENY MINEY MO
I WISHED ON THE MOON
IM PAINTING THE TOWN RED
IF YOU WERE MINE

| @gray70 Indeed it was. I just found this recording by chance since I gave it a try on the piano. This is by far the best version I've heard. |

| i love it as much as ella's interpretation; they both perceive it from such a different place. Both Billie, Ella and of course mr Gershwin are a true gift for our ears!! |
