Subject: RE: Songs Your Mother Sang to You
No-one has identified the fragment in the very OP: 'Mama done told me when I was in pigtails, a man is a two-face' [male version, I recall, was 'when I was in kneepants, woman's a two-face']. I remember it was a 40s song called Blues In The Night - hang on while I google: - here I am back: Harold Arlen & Johnny Mercer - who better! - 1941.
I just heard a remake of this on the local jazz station! It was by Eva Cassidy, who apparently passed away in 1996.
