Billie Holiday - A Sunbonnet Blue (And A Yellow Straw Hat) Lyrics
A sunbonnet blue and a yellow straw hat
Shy little he and she
Were declaring love's old story
In the shade of the old apple tree,
Decided to say, "I do"
So they rode to june and glory
On a bicycle built for two
Hear the past. the song is old.
The summer days are through
With silver threads among the gold
They still say, "I love you"
A sunbonnet blue and a yellow straw hat
For he loves her in december
As he did in may

real smooth
That's perfectly all right, 'purple'. Keep in mind that it had been almost two years between the time Billie recorded her first sides with Benny's band and this session. When she began recording with Wilson's outfit, he had his own sidemen (and, incidentally, Benny ISN'T featured on this one; he left the studio before this was cut- he only sat in on the first three numbers, as a favor to Teddy Wilson and producer John Hammond). Don't feel so bad...
Sorry, 'purple', but this is Teddy Wilson's band backing Billie here, from their first joint session on July 2, 1935; Ben Webster is on sax, Roy Eldridge on trumpet, John Kirby on bass, Cozy Cole on drums, John Trueheart on guitar, and Teddy at the piano.
