And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine
Ella Fitzgerald
He was such a handsome sailor How he tossed the old magoo He told her that he loved her And a thousand others too And then he bought a diamond And some expensive furs But then the guy got jilted And her hopes were rose once more So she went to beauty parlours And took facials by the score She caught him in a restaurant About to order when She said come home to dinner Don’t you want some beans again That ain’t with the Navy That sailor said that he So then she laid her pistol down Had to let the guy go free And her tears flowed like wine Yes her tears flowed like wine She’s a real sad tomato She’s a busted valentine Knows her momma done told her That the man is darn unkind She’s a real sad tomato And her tears flowed like wine
