Lil Hardin Armstrong - My Hi-De-Ho Man lyrics

Now, I was always known to be the vamp of my hometown And everyone could plainly see that I'd make any man my clown I broke the hearts of many men The way I did it sure was a sin But now those days are gone Since my hi-de-ho man came along I fell for a hi-de-ho man and he means the world to me And I don't wanna make you understand what's on him to see Sometimes I quit him; it's all in vain It's just too bad when he hi-de-hos again Hmmm, my little hi-de-ho man (Scats) Hmmm, now, that was my little hi-de-ho man, but he ain't worth a dime Now all that I can ever get from him is just a gang of beat-up time Say, he treats me mean and he sometimes hit me I don't care long as he don't quit me Hmmm, my little hi-de-ho man (Scats) Now, folks, did you hear my hi-de-ho man? Oh, he's my honey I'm gonna bum, beg, borrow, and steal all I can so he can have his correct money Say, he stays out late, won't even phone Tells me my place is home alone Hmmm, such a little hi-de-ho man
