Hurray For The Riff Raff Lyrics

"Fine And Mellow"
(originally by Billie Holiday)

My man don't love me
He treats me awful mean
My man don't love me
He treats me awful mean
Well, he's the lowest man
That I ever seen

He takes other women, lord
He sits them down on his knee
He takes other women, lord
And sits them down on his knee
And you know he tells them things
He won't tell me

High-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped pants, lord
Stripes are really yellow
When he starts in to love me
He is so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Stay out all night long
Well, love will make you do things
You know is wrong

My man don't love me
He treats me awful mean
My man don't love me
He treats me awful mean
Well, he's the lowest man
That I ever seen
