Nai nai; sings the blues
Shes's got in there; she feels so sad
Wants the world to know just what the blues is all about
If I should take a notion; to jump into the ocean
Ain't nobody's business if I do
If I should go to church on Sunday; and calvary all day, monday eh
Ain't nobody's business if I do
I swear, I won't call no cop; if I'm beaten by my papa
Ain't nobody's business if I do
'Cause I don't know why my man will hit me
Then for him to jump up and whip me
Ain't nobody's business if I do
And my man gat no money
And I say 'take it all honey'
Ain't nobody's business if I do
Nobody's business, ain't nobody's business nobody's business if I do
Yeah
ย
I cry for you, what a fool I used to be
Every road has a turning, that's one thing I'm learning
I cry for you, what a fool I used to be
Now I've found two hearts, just a little bit bluer
I've found a heart just a little bit truer I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Hey!
Hey!
Alright!
Woo!
Alright, you know what?
Billy Holiday, Lady Day
The lady who sings the blues; was an important part of my life
You know that
But more than that, she was a part of a chunk of musical history that won't go away
The working girls, the entertainers
In the old days they were known as sugar babies
Jazz balls, blues crooners and shouters and shout
In certain parts of New York City
They were even called the 'dark divas'
Wonder why
ย
They went around the world in more ways than one
Yes, they did
And in certain parts, they were known as mademoiselles
Josephine Bacon
ย
Josephine Beca was every girl's dream, yes she was
She ran away to Paris She had to run away to
Paris Peel those bananas and tore the place apart
And then came Ethel Waters Sweet mama string bean
Shook her tail feathers in Charleston
And the place nearly tore her apart
But Ethel's crowd was a little rougher
If you know what I'm saying
They sure knew how to listen to bad news
I don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather
Since my man and I Ain't together It's raining all the time
When he went away
The blues came in and met me If he stays away
I know a rocking chair's gonna get me all I do is praym my Lord will let me
Walk in the sun once more I can't go on
Everything I have in life is gone Stormy weather
I just can't get my poor self together
It's raining all the time Keeps raining all the time Beel Street
Memphis, Tennessee A street full of more long strokes
And low dives in the swimming hole
There was a lady there that could sing Yeah
She could sing A whole lot of dirty drinking
Dirty fighting and dirty singing A big woman
The biggest one of them all Missy Bessy Smith
That is Honey, you having trouble with your man?
Send him to Dr. Bessy, honey She'll put one hand on his heart
The other hand on wed counts
'Cause she can heal the sick and raise the up
I need a little sugar In my bowl I need a little hot dog
Between my rolls Can't stand a little loving Oh
So bad I feel so funky I feel so bad I need a little steam
On my flow Baby, I can fix things up
So they'll go What's the matter, hot proper?
Come and soothe your mama's soul
'Cause I need some sugar In my bowl Dog
Go there I need some sugar In my bowl Hey
Get off your knees It's all down there I can't see what you're doing
ย
Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky Stompy weather
Dog, dog, dog Hey, I'm dog, dog, dog
ย
Nobody's been there
Ain't nobody's been there
Nobody's been there He's my dog
ย
The working girls the entertainers
