Easy Come, Easy Go – Marianne Faithfull (originally by Bessie Smith)
By
Some folks they’re always crying Crying their mean old blues No me, you never even see me frown Some folks just walk around tryin’ Tryin’ hard love to lose But I felt it come the better let it burn I’m the happiest gal in the town
Easy come easy go Nothing ever worries me Care for none, eyes of stone Don’t know misery
If my man be trouble, or if he don’t I’ll get someone to love me anytime you want
Easy come easy go Right from my head to my shoes Don’t wanna be no skinny vamp or nothing like that Daddy always knows just where his sweet Mama’s at I’m overflowin’ with those easy come, easy go blues
He swallow me up, when he’s lovin’; hear what I’ve said Believe me I go out to lick him ‘most everyday I’m overflowin’ with those easy come, easy go blues
