Pittsburgh Blue versuri

Pittsburgh Blue lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, Burton Lane

Verse 1
Way up on the banks of the Ohio
Lives a gal that nobody can tame
The most fickle woman you ever will know
With the mostest peculiar name
All she ever answers to
Is „Pittsburgh Blue”

Chorus
Oh, Pittsburgh Blue
She couldn’t be true
She couldn’t be true if she wanted to
She got a heart that’s more
Like a swingin’ door
She only thinks of
The two-timin’ kind of love

Verse 2
Oh, she and McGraw they were thicker than glue
‘Til she fell for a gambler named Mike
Then love came along and his name it was Lou
And it lasted ‘til Riverboat Ike
Four of them she loved that way
And all in one day

Chorus
Oh, Pittsburgh Blue
She couldn’t be true
She couldn’t be true if she wanted to
She got a heart that’s more
Like a swingin’ door
She only thinks of
The two-timin’ kind of love

Bridge
Way up and down the Ohio
There never was a dame crookeder
So if you wanna see bad news
Go up and take a good look at her
I tell you, man, when she was born
The devil threw the whole book at her
A gal like that there never was
They oughta pass a law against the things she does

Chorus
Oh, Pittsburgh Blue
She couldn’t be true
She couldn’t be true if she wanted to
She got a heart that’s more
Like a swingin’ door
There ain’t a man who can do
Anything to tame Pittsburgh Blue!
