letra de where were you, baby? - josh white (blues)

Loading...

[verse 1]
i looked through every barroom, and i searched from coast to coast
you were scarce as low-cost housin’, baby, when i needed you most
and where were you baby, baby, when my heart went out?
well, you left me, baby, in all this darkness and doubt

[verse 2]
i peeked through fancy boudoirs, and i peeked through window grates
i only saw republicans romancing southern states
and where were you baby, when my heart went out?
well, you left me, baby, in all this darkness and doubt

[verse 3]
i tried to replace you with a streetwalker namеd desire
prices arе up so high, h-ll, i couldn’t afford to try her
it takes you my baby, baby, to put my body out
yes, you left me baby, in all this darkness and doubt

[verse 4]
but tonight, i think i’m gonna take some good advice
look around and find me somebody that’s, uh, really nice
now, perhaps a banker’s daughter, if her papa’s a cuss
well, i hope to do to her what her papa does to us

[verse 5]
and she’ll have a fancy shack, a fancy cadillac
and studying to be a nymphomaniac
and we’ll have a little rye, play a little gin
we’ll have another rye, and two c’s again
[verse 6]
then, we’ll have another rye just to get a little glow
we’ll have another rye just to make the conversation flow
then, we’ll have another rye, play a little gin
we’ll have another rye, and play some more gin

[verse 7]
then we’ll a little gin, and we’ll play a little rye
and we’ll suddenly realize that we’re gettin’ kind of high
and we’ll turn the lights down low to keep the bulbs from gettin’ hot
and we’ll play a little game called, “yes?” “no?” “why not?”
but tonight, i think i’m gonna find me something swell
so, i can wake up in the morning miserable as h-ll

[verse 8]
when b-tter costs a dollar, and bread costs more than cake
come back soon ’cause, think of what a gal like you could make
come back, baby, don’t tell me that we’re through
’cause this time, baby, i’d like to walk right out on you
