Bloodshot Eyes
Wynonie Harris
(Penny - Hall, King 4461, 1951)
Now just because you're pretty
And you think you're mighty wise
You told me that you love me
Then you roll those big brown eyes
When I saw you last week
You're eyes were turning black
Go find the guy that beat you up
Ask him to take you back
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
It's plain that you're lyin'
When you say that you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
Now I used to spend my money
To make you look real sweet
I wanted to be proud of you
When we walk down the street
Now don't ask me to dress you up
In satin and in silk
Your eyes look like a two cherries
In a glass of buttermilk
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell that you been out on a spree
It's plain that you're lyin'
When you say that you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
Now I guess our little romance
Has finally simmered down
You should join the circus
You'd make a real good clown
Your eyes look like a roadmap
I'm scared to smell your breath
You'd better shut your peepers
Before you bleed to death
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
It's plain that you're lyin'
When you say that you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
