Ethel Sings 'Em (c. -06-23) - Ethel Waters

Did you ever

Feel like you lost the best friend you had

You wake up in the mornin' and you feel so bad

Thinkin' 'bout your brownie, and your heart’s so sad

Just like a mourner, just like a mourner

In an amen corner you’ll begin to hum

Hurry up sundown, Lord, and let tomorrow come

I wanna see my man so bad, my heart is beating like a drum

It’s getting so I can’t sleep for dreamin'

And I can’t laugh for cryin'

I can’t sleep for dreamin' and I can’t laugh for cryin', cryin'

'Cause the man I love is forever on my mind

Why, he puts candy in my hand, candy in my hand

And he calls me his candy doll

He puts candy in my hand and he calls me his candy doll

Then he looks at me and cries «Mama, "

But it’s so hard to love, so hard to love

Anothr woman’s man

It’s so hard to love another woman’s man

'Cause you can’t gt him when you want him, you’ve got to take him when you can

Our love is like a faucet, love is like a faucet

It turns off and on

Our love is like a faucet that turns off and on

'Cause every time you think you’ve got it, papa, it’s turned off and gone

So life is nothing but a jam, nothing but a jam

A constant jamboree

Life is nothing but a jam, a constant jamboree

It’s jammed everybody, now it’s 'bout to jam poor me
