My Bill From Louisville 1911

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 04 Sep 2004

You all know my old beau,
everybody used to call him Lovey Joe;
He made me mad, he made me sad,
when I found he only loved me for my dough.
But I've got another man,
he don't come from Birmingham;
I knew some day the Lord would hear my voice,
and so he sent a man who is my choice.
He comes from Louisville, K.Y.
and that's what makes me cry..

My Bill from Louisville,
thinking 'bout him all day long,
I can't keep still;
he's the doctor that can cure my ill.
One kiss from his lips
is like a heavenly pill.
My Bill from Louisville
says he'll leave Kentucky,
and I trust he will,
'cause I'm craving, my kisses saving,
with love I'm slaving,
excuse my raving
'bout my lovin' man,
my Bill from Louisville.

My Bill from Louisville,
thinking 'bout him all day long,
I can't keep still;
he's the doctor that can cure my ill.
One kiss from his lips
is like a heavenly pill.
My Bill from Louisville
says he'll leave Kentucky,
and I trust he will,
'cause I'm craving, my kisses saving,
with love I'm slaving,
excuse my raving
'bout my lovin' man,
my Bill from Louisville.

He's so nice, oh, so nice,
when you love him once
you want to love him twice;
My baby doll is six feet tall,
but I love him if he had no feet at all...
When I meet my Octaroon,
Oh Lordy how we will spoon,
if he don't come,
something will happen soon,
I'm waiting for that loving honeymoon.
He is the man can cure my pain,
that's why I'll say again..

My Bill from Louisville,
thinking 'bout him all day long,
I can't keep still;
he's the doctor that can cure my ill.
One kiss from his lips
is like a heavenly pill.
My Bill from Louisville
says he'll leave Kentucky,
and I trust he will,
'cause I'm craving, my kisses saving,
with love I'm slaving,
excuse my raving
'bout my lovin' man,
my Bill from Louisville.

My Bill from Louisville,
thinking 'bout him all day long,
I can't keep still;
he's the doctor that can cure my ill.
One kiss from his lips
is like a heavenly pill.
My Bill from Louisville
says he'll leave Kentucky,
and I trust he will,
'cause I'm craving, my kisses saving,
with love I'm slaving,
excuse my raving
'bout my lovin' man,
my Bill from Louisville.
