Buds Won’t Bud Lyrics by Ethel Waters

0

Buds won't bud, breeze won't breeze and dew won't dew
One and one ain't even two
When the love you love won't love you
Buds won't bud, chicks won't chick and micks won't mack
Blue is white and white is black
When the love you love won't love back
On account there's no accountin'
When you can't have the one you like
All your troubles keep on mountin'
And the world is on a sit-down strike
'Cause;
Buds won't bud, breeze won't breeze and dew won't dew
One and one ain't even two
When the love you love won't love you
Buds won't bud, breeze won't breeze and crows won't crow
Eeny meeny's minus mo
When the love you love says, "Hi ho"
Buds won't bud, notes won't note and knots won't knot
T's won't cross and I's won't dot
When the hope you hope goes to pot
On account there's no accountin'
When you can't bring your dream about
All your troubles keep on mountin'
And the world is just a big blackout
'Cause;
Buds won't bud, breeze won't breeze and dew won't dew
C-O-D is I-O-U
When the love you love won't love you
