recording of November 1939
from
Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five, 1934-1940 (The Chronological Classics 636)
‘Fore day in the mornin’, babe, you ain’t got home yet
Hmm, it’s ‘fore day in the mornin’, babe, you ain’t got home yet
I cried and cried, ’til my pillow’s soaking wet!
Babe, I can’t get started, since you threw me down
Hmmm, I can’t get started, since you threw me down
I thought you were the square, babe, and you played me for a clown
I loved you, baby, but you don’t mean me no good
Hmmm, I loved you, baby, but you don’t mean me no good
You give me so much trouble, I believe I move from your neighborhood!
