Duke Ellington
Workin’ Blues / My Man Sends Me / Jail Blues / Lovin’ Lover
[MALE SOLOIST (JIMMY GRISSOM)]
Workin' hard to buy my gal the biggest house in town
Working hard to buy my gal the biggest house in town
'Cause she's swings like crazy
And she sure has got that sound

Working hard at the policy wheel to buy my gal the biggest house in town
Working and writing numbers to buy my gal the biggest house in town
If she don't marry me
I'll burn it down to the ground

[FEMALE SOLOIST (LIL GREENWOOD)]
My man sends me
I don't know how far
My man sends me
I don't know how far
But when he takes me in his arms
I ooh da-da, da-da
What he's puttin' down
He didn't learn in school
Oh, listen to me now, I said what he's puttin' down
He didn't learn in school
But it'll drive a good woman crazy
And kill a fool!

[MALE SOLOIST (JIMMY GRISSOM)]
Who's with you, baby
While I'm here in jail?
Who's with you, baby
Whilе I'm here in jail?
If you've got anothеr man
Let me know by mail
Who's with you, baby
While I'm here in jail?
Oh, baby, baby
While I'm here in jail
If you ain't got a man
Then get one and go my bail

[FEMALE SOLOIST (LIL GREENWOOD)]
I love my lovin' lover
He's as fine as wine
I love my lovin' lover
I always thought that he was mine
But love must be blind
'Cause now he ain't mine
I love my lovin' lover
He's as sweet as he can be
Please somebody
Send that lady's husband back to me
