Roll 'Em Pete - Count Basie

Well, I got a gal, she lives up on the hill

Well, I got a gal, she lives up on the hill

Well, this woman’s tryin' to quit me

Lord, but I love her still

She’s got eyes like diamonds

They shine like Klondike gold

She’s got eyes like diamonds

They shine like Klondike gold

Ev’ry time she loves me

She sends my mellow soul

Well, you’re so beautiful

You’ve got to die someday

Well, you’re so beautiful

You’ve got to die someday

All I want’s a little loving

Just before you pass away

Pretty baby, I’m goin' away

And leave you by yourself

Pretty baby, I’m goin' away

And leave you by yourself

You’ve mistreated me

Now you can mistreat somebody else
