lirik lagu esther phillips - i'm gettin' 'long alright

[spoken intro]
i’d like to do this song
for all my lady friends in the house tonight
i do most of my blues songs for the ladies
because we always have the blues, you see
they’re usually created by the men folk
especially on friday, when the eagle flies
and they don’t wanna give up the money
to pay them folks
for them televisions, stereos and things
when they get it on friday, they wanna
put it in their pockets and walk around with it
makes them feel important
and you know if you ask them about it
they may talk to you real, real, real bad
lock you in the bas~m~nt for a week
or even reminding him that he’s got bills
if you got a man that’s, that’s ignorant
you may be able to make it, maybe
maybe, no guarantee, no guarantee at all
‘cause when you’re ignorant that means
your understanding is naught
but if you’ve got one that’s ignant
you can forget it because there is a difference
i got a little song that i always sings because
it keeps it in my finger that
one monkey don’t stop no show
he may slow it down for a minute, for a minute
never ever stop it cause you see
the show, it must go on
[intro]
ooh oo~ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
oo~oo~oo~oo~oo~ooh

[verse 1]
lord, i’ve got a cold, cold feeling
said it’s like ice around my heart
i’ve got a real cold feeling
lord, it’s like ice around my heart, yeah
i know i’m gonna quit somebody
every time this feeling starts

[verse 2]
cause i cried and i cried just like a baby
when you when away last friday night
i said i cried, cried, cried, cried, cried like a baby
when you walked out and left me here
with all these bills last friday night
but look here, i done made me some connections
oh, yes i have and believe me
i sure am getting along alright

[verse 3]
well, my iceman is a nice man
nice as he can be
cause he goes and collects his money
and he brings it all to me
now my rent man, he done told me
little mama, don’t worry about the rent
you know, all i wanna do is aw~mmm a whole year
and your rent won’t cost a cent

now my meat man is a sweet man
he brings me steaks everyday
and he done told me not to worry
cause i don’t never have to pay

now my woodman is a good man
because he loves to keep his mama warm
and when his wood don’t burn to soothe me
you know, he takes me in his arms

now my coal man is a old man, that’s you
and he’s almost 62
lord, hey baby, let me tell you
that that old man there sure knows
he sure knows what to do

lord lord lord lord lord lord
when you left me here last friday night
well, i done made me some connections
and believe me, i sure am getting along alright
i said i’m really, really getting along alright
yeah yeah yeah
