Fine and Mellow
Blues, to me, is like
Been very sad, very sick, going to church, being very happy
It's just two kinds of blues, there's happy Blues and there's sad Blues
I don't think I have to sing this thing twice
I don't think I have to sing the same tempo
The next is a little slower
The next stands a little bit brighter, 'cause I have to feel
I don't know, Blues is sort of a mixed-up thing, you just have to feel it
Anything I, I do sing, it's part of my life
My man don't love me
He treats me, oh, so mean
My man, he don't love me
He treats me, awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen
He wears high draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he's starting to love me
He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong
Treat me right, baby
And I'll stay home everyday
Just treat me right, baby
And I'll stay home night and day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Love is like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on, baby
It has turned off and gone
Been very sad, very sick, going to church, being very happy
It's just two kinds of blues, there's happy Blues and there's sad Blues
I don't think I have to sing this thing twice
I don't think I have to sing the same tempo
The next is a little slower
The next stands a little bit brighter, 'cause I have to feel
I don't know, Blues is sort of a mixed-up thing, you just have to feel it
Anything I, I do sing, it's part of my life
My man don't love me
He treats me, oh, so mean
My man, he don't love me
He treats me, awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen
He wears high draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he's starting to love me
He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong
Treat me right, baby
And I'll stay home everyday
Just treat me right, baby
And I'll stay home night and day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Love is like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on, baby
It has turned off and gone
