Black cats creep across my path
Until I'm almost mad
I must have 'roused the devil's wrath
'Cause all my luck is bad
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go thru life kust catchin colds and missin' trains
Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I've had the measels and the mumps
And every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me
At first my heart tho't you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castlesin the air
I've telegraphed and phoned
I send an 'Airmail Special' too
Your answer was 'Goodbye'
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
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.
