Billies Blues
I love my man
Im a liar if I say I dont
I love my man
Im a liar if I say I dont
But Ill quit my man
Im a liar if I say I wont
Ive been your slave, baby
Ever since Ive been your babe
Ive been your slave
Ever since Ive been your babe
But before Ill be your dog
Ill see you in your grave
My man wouldnt give me no breakfast
Wouldnt give me no dinner
Squawked about my supper then he put me outdoors
Had the nerve to lay a matchbox on my clothes
I didnt have so many
But I had a long, long ways to go
I aint good-looking
And my hair aint curled
I aint good-looking
And my hair aint curled
But my mother, she gave me something
Its gonna tear me through this world
Some men like me cause Im happy
Some cause Im snappy
Some call me honey
Others think Ive got money
Some tell me 'Billie,
Baby, youre built for speed'
Now, if you put that all together
It makes me everything a good man needs
