Tired - Pearl Bailey/Mitchell Ayres & Jazz Band
Tired of the life I lead
Tired of the blues I breed
Tired countin' things I need
Gonna cut out wide and that's the truth
Get a brand new man while I got my youth
Tired of the clothes I wear
Tired of the patches there
I'm tired of the crows I scare
Gonna truck downtown and spend the moo
Get short vamp shoes and a new man too
Washin' and a tubbin
Cleanin' and a scrubbin
Sure leaves my glamour with a scar
All that mendin' and a moppin
Washin' and a shoppin
Don't make me look like a glamorous star
Tired of the tears I shed
Tired of livin' in the red
Tired of my same old bed
Gonna live the life of cindy lou
And do the things that I know she'd do
'Cause I'm tired yes I'm tired of you
Well I guess by now you all have the general idea
I am tired
So i can live the life of cindy lou
And do the things that I know she'd do
'Cause I'm tired yes maday tired of you
