Fine and Mellow Songtext
von Alberta Hunter

My man don′t love me, he treats me awfully mean
Lord, my man don't love me, he treats me awfully mean
He′s about the lowest viper that I ever seen

He wears high-draped pants, stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped pants, stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me, he's 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
Love will make you do things that you know are wrong

If you treat me right, baby, I'll stay home every day
If you treat me right, daddy, I′ll stay home every day
But if you treat me wrong, baby, you gonna drive me away

Love is just like a faucet: it turns off and on
Love is just like a faucet: it turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it′s on, baby, it's turned off and gone
