I got a guy who lives up on a hill
I got a guy who lives up on a hill
Swear he's going to quit me
But I love him still

He got eyes like diamonds, teeth shine like yellow gold
He got eyes like diamonds, teeth shine like yellow gold
When he starts tender lovin' me
He satisfies my soul

Joe Williams sang this song with Count Basie
Joe Williams sang this song with Count Basie
I'm not a blues singer
But I'm trying to sing it for you

Yeah-yeah, bye-bye, baby
I'm through with you
I'm through with you
As the song says
I'm through with you

Hey say, if he don't want you
What do you do?
Just put on your shoes
Pick up your cloths
And walk, 'cause he don't want you no more
Don't talk
Don't ...
Don't be
Don't see
He don't want you
No, he don't want you

That ...
When you got the blues

Yes, yes I'm crying
I'm crying the blues

Now he say he's sorry
He don't love me no more
And I hit that door
'Cause my man don't love me
Yes, he through with me

Eyes like diamonds, teeth shine like yellow gold
Eyes like diamonds, teeth shine like yellow gold
Well, this was your request
And you know Ella's sold

I said bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
...
It's been a ball with this
Bye-bye, it's been a ball
With this is blues
That's all you get of the blues

So let's finish with the blues right now
We can go to the next song
'Cause I know I've song the words
Song all the blues wrong
But I had to get the feeling
That's going around and round

Everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it

So I tried a little bit of soul for you
And now I know I go for you
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Yes that's it

As Joe Williams said
I goofed the blues
So I'll say
That's all right now with this song
Good bye folks
