Yup, you got it baby. That's just what I want. Lyrics and chords, plee-yuz.

I see that this was mentioned in a previous thread on Bessie Smith, but apparently the thread dropped out of sight and no one posted the lyrics.

Thanks, WW

Obviously, I hit the wrong button.

What I *meant* to say was, thanks. duly printed out and now off to figure chords. If anyone can help with those, that would be great.

Thanks again, ww

Sorry I've too busy to post these the last few days. Here's the basic chords for the Nina Simone version. Her words differ (inferior and a bit sanitised, IMHO) from those I linked to all those years ago and which Jim copied to the thread he linked above, so I've posted her words too.

A lot of the 7ths can of course be replaces by 9ths etc.

(Bb)I want a little (D7)sugar (G7)in my bowl,
(C7)I want a little sweetness down in my soul
(F7)I could stand some lovin', oh so bad,
(Bb)I feel so funny, I feel so (F7)sad
(Bb)I want a little (D7)steam (G7)on my clothes
(C7)Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go
(Eb)What's the matter, (Gdim7)daddy, (Bb)come on (D7/A)save my (G7)soul
(C7)I need some (F7)sugar in my (Bb)bowl, I (D7/A)ain't(G7) fooling,

You been acting different, I been told
Sue me, I want some sugar in my bowl
I want some steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go
What's the matter, daddy, come on save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl, I ain't fooling,
I want some sugar in my bowl
