This page contains lyrics to the following song(s):
Credited to Greene herself, this is a variation on a familiar theme. It was released in 1948 on Mercury.
He may be your man but he comes to see me some time He may be your man but he comes to see me some time He comes so often, I'm beginnin' to think he's mine He's yours, he's mine, he's somebody else's too He's yours and he's mine and he's somebody else's too If you don't mind, I'll have him clean away from you Cause that man rocks me, he rocks me with a steady roll He rocks me, rocks me with a steady roll When he rocks me, Lord he satisfies my soul Hoy-hoy... (piano solo) He's long and tall, just like a willow tree He's long and tall, just like a willow tree He's tall and cool, that man sends me If that's your man, tie him to your side If that's your man, tie'm, tie'm, tie'm, tie'm to your side If he flags my train, I'm sure gonna let him ride Now he don't drink or gamble, he don't run around When it comes to good lovin' he can really go to town That's the truth baby, I swear I wouldn't lie I love that man, gee I hope to die.
Another Greene composition, recorded ca. 1948 by Mercury but not released then.
My baby left town and the mule laid down and died My baby left town and the mule laid down and died Baby left town, I laid down and cried One, two, three four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ten Red light, red light... red light, red light Venus was a woman, she had a whole lot of charms She got so much huggin', she wore out both her arms Red light, red light Columbus was an explorer, the greatest of his day But he got all mixed up in Brooklyn and the poor guy lost his way Red light, red light Napoleon was a soldier, the greatest ever seen But he learned all his manoeuvres along along with Josephine Red light, red light King Arthur was a hero, he was known everywhere He had a round round table cause he couldn't stand, he couldn't stand, he couldn't stand a square Red light, red light Red light, red light.
