Do your duty


Wesley 'Sox' Wilson

If I call three times a day
Come and drive my blues away
When you come, be ready to play
Do your duty

If you want to have some love
Give your baby your last buck
Don't come quackin' like a duck
Do your duty

I heard you say you didn't love me
Numb as Mrs. Brown
I don't believe a word they say
She's the lyinest woman in town

When I need attention at home
I'll call you on the phone
Come yourself, don't send your friend Jones
Do your duty

If my radiator get too hot
Cool it off in lots of spots
Give me all the service you've got
Do your duty

If you don't know what it's all about
Don't sit around my house and pout
If you do you'll catch your mama tippin' now
Do your duty

If you make your own bed hard
That's the way o' life
I'm tired of sleepin' by myself
But you too dumb to realize

I'm not tryin' to make you feel blue
I'm not satisfied with the way you do
I've got to help you find somebody too
Do your duty

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Eleanora Fagan, known as Billie Holiday (1915-1959), was an American singer widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz and blues vocalists of all time. Raised in Philadelphia's challenging environment, she began her musical career in Harlem's nightclubs. Her unique vocal style, characterized by a deep, sensual voice with a wide expressive range, earned her the nickname "Lady Day". Holiday was known for her emotionally charged and melancholic performances, often accompanied by sophisticated jazz arrangements. Among her most famous songs are "Strange Fruit", an anti-lynching anthem that became a powerful protest song against racial violence in the United States, and "God Bless the Child". Holiday collaborated with some of the most prominent musicians of her era, including Lester Young, Teddy Wilson, and Count Basie. Her career was marked by personal struggles and addiction, but her influence on jazz music remains profound.
