Ella Fitzgerald - And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine lyrics

Like a stab in the back, she found they wasn't hers 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 But the guy got jilted, and her hopes were rose once more So she went to beauty parlours, and took facials by the score And when he came to see her, she smiled the evening through Till he said girl friend, get your money back, .... is the name for you 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 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
